Arca Noae is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ArcaOS 5.0.2,
the second maintenance release of ArcaOS 5.0 (Blue Lion). 
 
ArcaOS 5.0.2 is the result of many hours of collaborative work to update and
refine ArcaOS 5.0. Post-install fixes are included, and these will be made
available for separate download as part of the ArcaOS 5.0 Support &
Maintenance subscription shortly. In the meantime, a full download of the
refreshed media image is required to obtain these fixes and updates. 
 
ArcaOS 5.0.2 includes well over 60 updates and fixes since 5.0.1, and
introduces for the first time ever available, the ability to boot an
OS/2-based operating system from USB stick media and perform an installation.
This new facility - AltBoot - should enable ArcaOS to be installed on many
systems where traditional DVD-based booting has not been possible. 
 
A bootable ArcaOS 5.0.2 USB stick may be created from any major operating
system at hand (Windows, Linux, MacOS, and of course, OS/2, eComStation, and
ArcaOS). The USB stick image package will be made available as a separate
download. 
 
If everything is working in your current installation, it may be prudent to
wait for the subscription content to become available, as Arca Noae has not
classified any of the 5.0.2 updates as critical. 
 
If you have experienced difficulty installing ArcaOS 5.0.1, the fixes and
updates included in 5.0.2 may address your issue(s). 
 
For a complete list of updates in this release, see the ArcaOS wiki. 
 
To download your fresh ISO, simply visit your customer portal page, select the
Orders & Subscriptions link on the navigation panel to the left, then click on
the order for your ArcaOS license. Once there, click the download link to
request a fresh ISO, and wait for your notification email.
