ArcaOS 5.0.5 now available
Arca Noae is proud to announce the general availability of ArcaOS 5.0.5, the
fifth maintenance release of ArcaOS 5.0 (Blue Lion).
ArcaOS 5.0.5 introduces support for xHCI (USB3) controllers to install on a
wider array of systems than ever before. What’s more, for updaters, even if
your USB controller was previously unsupported, and you had to install or
update from DVD in the past, you may now boot into the installer from USB
stick to perform the update. USB3-attached keyboards and mice should work, as
well.
ArcaOS 5.0.5 includes over 100 updates, enhancements, and fixes since 5.0.4
was released. If you have experienced difficulty installing previous releases
of ArcaOS on your hardware, the fixes and updates included in 5.0.5 may
address your issue(s). If installing from USB stick, the image may be created
using any major operating system at hand (Windows, Linux, MacOS, and of
course, OS/2, eComStation, and ArcaOS). Once built the USB stick can be
inserted into any USB port in the target system to boot into the ArcaOS
installer/updater.
For a complete list of updates in this release, see the ArcaOS wiki. Be sure
to review the README.TXT, as well, as this contains critical information to
ensure that you get up and running fast, and includes tips for getting things
adjusted right away.
This update is included with your valid ArcaOS Support & Maintenance
subscription at no additional charge. 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.
If your ArcaOS Support & Maintenance subscription has already expired, and
you missed your window of opportunity to renew at regular rates, you may
still renew at less than the cost of a new ArcaOS license.
