Akira version 1.99.16 is available

June 10, 2026

Akira version 1.99.16 has been released (tagged at 1.99.16.20260609085933.dc88059a59). This is in a series of releases made from the 1.99 development branch.

The following are release notes for Akira 1.99.16:

  • RT1985: Move to akira.org
  • RT1977: Add build.sh
  • RT1975: Fix warning about non-existent generated document when making manpages
  • RT1973: Make various changes to the PDF formatting
  • RT1974: Update software licenses

Akira has been moved to a new DNS domain named akira.org. To upgrade from a previous release of Akira on an RPM platform, first remove the older akira-release RPM:

[user@host ~]$ sudo dnf remove akira-release

Then, install the akira-release package as described in the installation instructions. This will install the new DNF package repositories.

Then, upgrade the akira package, which should install it from the new DNF package repository:

[user@host ~]$ sudo dnf upgrade akira

You may clean up any old Akira Package Signer keys using clean-rpm-gpg-pubkey:

[user@host ~]$ sudo dnf install clean-rpm-gpg-pubkey
[user@host ~]$ sudo clean-rpm-gpg-pubkey

Some more development releases will be made from this branch until Akira 2.0 is ready to be branched. You can read about Akira branches and version numbering.
