--- Any thing I missed here or unclear? Let me know. So far we are ready to go; archiso has been updated and I pushed a package into [extra]. The only thing missing is a small patch for arch-chroot that should be applied: http://paste.xinu.at/ktF/

It's only been 20 days since the last release, but I'd like to move to a schedule where a new iso is released at the beginning (first week) of a month. It's still quite a list of changes; not even mentioned a few changes to archiso and the install scripts.

Why not follow the kernel release? The iso is much more useful having the latest kernel available.

I've not seen us ever push a .0 kernel into [core] and you'd like to see it on an ISO? You'll get 3.5 next month. d

What was the rationale for not using markdown syntax? I've edited it to look the exact same and not be inline HTML; please prefer markdown in all cases that it can be used.

Note: "ISO" is an acronym; "iso" is not a word. Here is the markdown version I just reposted: The August snapshot of our live and install media comes with updated packages and the following changes on top of the [previous ISO image](/news/install-media-20120715-released/): * GRUB 2.0 instead of the legacy 0.9 version is available. * The [Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php) can be found at _/root/install.txt_. * ZSH with [Grml's configuration](http://grml.org/zsh/) is used as interactive shell to provide a user friendly and more convenient environment. This includes completion support for pacstrap, arch-chroot, pacman and most other tools. * The network daemon is started by default which will automatically setup your network if DHCP is available. Note that all these changes only affect the live system and not the base system you install using pacstrap. The ISO image can be downloaded from our [download page](/download/). The next snapshot is scheduled for September.
