## Summary
The Agama installer has released version 25, marking the first update following openSUSE Leap 16.1. This release introduces a web-based terminal within the UI, an exit option to reboot or shut down before installation begins, and a searchable multi-select field for network port configuration. Additionally, the project is working toward becoming the official installer for openSUSE Tumbleweed and has added RISC-V support.

## Technical improvements in Agama 25
- **Web-based terminal**: Users can now access a shell directly through the Agama web UI.
- **RISC-V support**: Added support for **riscv64** architectures.
- **Decoupling from YaST**: The project is migrating AutoYaST-related code into its own codebase to reduce reliance on full YaST modules.
- **Improved UI components**: Network port selection for bonds or bridges now uses a searchable multi-select field instead of free-text input.
- **API and Schema stability**: OpenAPI specifications and JSON schemas are now published with stable URLs to support third-party client generation and editor autocompletion.

## Why it matters
The ongoing effort to integrate Agama as the Tumbleweed installer and the reduction of YaST dependencies signal a move toward a more modular and independent installation framework for openSUSE.
