title: New Images! (July 2023 Edition)
layout: post
---

We're pleased to announce that the 20230628 image set has been promoted to
current and is now generally available.

You can find the new images on our [downloads page](/download/) and on our many
[mirrors](https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/mirrors/index.html).

Some highlights of this release:

- Installing using the network source no longer fails to create the non-root
user ([@classabbyamp](https://github.com/classabbyamp) in

- The xbps mirror can now be selected in the installer using
[`xmirror`](https://github.com/void-linux/xmirror)
([@classabbyamp](https://github.com/classabbyamp) in
