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.
