So as I understand, there were two problems with rc1. Bug #5149,
which was closed as resolved three days ago. And an unknown
"pending security issue".
Where can we find more info on this pending security issue? I don't
see a QSB around the time that message was posted (Sept 2 2019).
Are there any updates regarding the release of rc2? And, is there
any way we can track its progress? Github doesn't seem to have
milestones for point releases, much less rc's.
According to the Qubes release schedule, exactly five weeks after
an rc comes out, either another rc or a stable should follow.
Seeing as how rc1 was announced July 9, it would seem we're long
overdue.
The reason I ask is because I ran into problems bringing 4.0.1 up
to date, but I thought "oh well, by the time I get this figured
out, 4.0.2(-rc2, at least) will be out anyways. Might as well wait
and start fresh." But now nearly 4 months later, here we sit.
I appreciate all the hard work that goes into every release. Just
asking if there are any status updates, that's all.
Hi Claudia,
We actually just uploaded the 4.0.2-rc2 ISO to
https://ftp.qubes-os.org/iso/ a couple days ago. We're just preparing
the announcement and letting the mirrors catch up. We plan to publish
that announcement within the next 24 hours.
I'll check with the security team about that pending security issue.

That's great news! Thank you!
Question: Is there anything we need to be aware of when installing
rc's/betas, with regards to upgrading?
As I understand, if rc2 ultimately becomes 4.0.2 stable, then rc2 users
don't have to reinstall to upgrade to stable (they would be the same ISO
anyway). All they have to do is install updates. Is that right?
The same is true even if an rc3 comes out, right? No need to reinstall
from ISO, just install updates?
Is only time you need to reinstall from ISO when upgrading a minor
release? e.g. 4.0 -> 4.1?
Thanks
