Most notable change is that AIF (the Arch Installation Framework) is no longer included but instead some simple install scripts are provided to aid in the installation process.

Hi, I have a request, could you please be so kind and provide an install medium without efi? There is a wiki page which explains how to do that, but without an existing linux install there is no chance to do it. So why I ask for this and do not use an usb-stick to install? Because there are devices out there (macs) which are not able to boot from non-gpt usbs or usbs at all.
