One minor issue, a very little one.
I have xfce as DE, but after reboot, i ended with default xfce wallpapers (for each workspace) in /usr/share/backgrouds/xfce whereas my wallpapers are in my home partition, in another folder.
Not a big deal though.

I have had this bluetooth problem for a long time, and it seemed solved until now. It looks as though bluez broke again.
I had issue with pamac-manager in KDE after update. It opened and immediately closed. Logs:
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) pamac-manager
I just reinstall pamac with this command:
sudo pacman -Sy pamac
pamac-gtk wasn’t installed.
pamac-manager I can’t reinstall because it doesn’t exist in pacman. I don’t why and how I can find it.

Worked for me except for the first one. "no such directory’ I think it said.
Wallpaper went to xfce defaults for some reason.
After updating to the latest stable release my computer crashes after logging in (GDM). This is a hard crash and I am not able to open a virtual console (CTRL + ALT + F3). I also was experiencing the problem of Telegram not starting due to some missing library, but I installed it 3 days before this update.
I have found and resolved the problem:
Telegram is now working after the update.
After updating and rebooting I got the error message “Failed to start Light Display Manager.” Changing kernels allowed LightDM to run again. I was running 5.10.60-1 and changed to 5.4.142-1.
For me, at the end, it just reinstalled my old keyring, and no update. I also tried removing the libcanberra packages.
Edit: The update went smoothly on my other machine, so i decided to refresh my mirrors.
That got it going.
I was getting some keyring issues through pacman, then I used pamac for update and all went smooth.

After update LightDM started using very low resolution on greeter on a multi-head setup (original laptop screen 2160x1440 and external monitor 3840×2160). Multi-head support had never been great before on my setup with mixed resolutions, where the login box would be misplaced on the external monitor, but this just got worse by showing the login box at what looks like VGA resolution on both displays (very blurry and distorted image output). Only happens when external monitor is connected, else it uses correct resolution for laptop. After login all works well on my Manjaro XFCE setup, and correct resolutions are picked up. I ended up replacing gtk-greeter with mini-greeter (making the issue less noticeable).

Same issue on my laptop (Intel i5-8265U, UHD 620 Graphics, Driver OpenGL 4.6 Mesa, FHD Screen). No helpful log entries, just "lightdm.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’. ", repeated several times.
But I was able to open a console screen (ALT-Ctrl-F2), and tried to get more information.
Started lightdm manually (as root)
lightdm --test-mode --debug
This gave some debug infos (but nothing pointed to a cause for the issue) - nevertheless lightdm started up and gave me a desktop “as usually”. After logging out from lightdm, I rebooted the laptop, and after that I was able to login normally. Lightdm seems to be working fine now - I just don’t know why it didn’t before…

I had the same issue and solved it for me:
pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter
systemctl enable lightdm
So for some reason my Pamac can’t find the updates, but instead tells me that my system is up-to-date. By checking the detailed list of updated packages from the opening post, I can tell, however, that this is not the case and that the packages are still from the previous stable update—the ones I picked for reference anyway.
Is there anything I can do here to nudge Pamac/Pacman to update or should I just wait for it to “wake up”?
sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5
pamac update

That did the trick. Thank you kindly, good sir. 
After the update, my two monitors had been swapped, so the secondary monitor was the first. This was caused by xorg-server / xorg-server-common. No big deal, can easily be corrected in screen settings.

It was already posted in the announcement:
what you did was change to the fastest 5 mirrors in your area, at this point in time which might lag again next time, so:
-
check the mirrors for your location!
-
use
sudo pacman-mirrors --country Country1,Country2 --interactiveto manually take the fastest and up-to-date mirrors in your and any other neighbouring countries
-
keep doing that until you’ve found the fastest and stablest mirrors for you!
-
the Manjaro team does not manage these mirrors: they are managed by local volunteers contributing to the team.

Interesting. I have had this issue with LightDM failing to load intermittently since kernel 5.11 was introduced and on only 1 specific laptop (I have 7 machines running Manjaro).
I always wrote it off as some sort of esoteric timing issue, because sometimes it would fail 5 times in a row and then not once for a week. Sometimes it would keep failing on one specific kernel and switching to another kernel would instantly boot the laptop, but a week later that kernel would suddenly have LightDM fail.
I was too busy with work to post about the issue and usually one or two reboots would have my laptop working, so that has been my workaround for quite a while now.

I also had the problem that LightDM failed during startup.
For me adding logind-check-graphical=true to the [LightDM] section in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf did the trick.
