-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Qubes Community,
Shortly after this announcement was originally sent, a bug was discovered in the dom0 kernel included in Qubes 4.0.2: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5553 Since this bug would present installation problems for the majority of users, we have temporarily removed it from the Downloads page and reinstated the latest release candidate (Qubes 4.0.2-rc3) in its place.
