Arca Noae is pleased to announce the immediate availability of updates for ACPI, JFS, FAT32, and Panorama to match what is in the recently released ArcaOS v5.0.6.

If you updated to ArcaOS 5.0.6 you already have these updates. These updates are recommended for everyone.

ACPI

• The power manager in the daemon was enhanced to better handle multiple CPUs.
• ACPICA was updated to the current version.

JFS

• The boot loader has a fix that prevents an IPE if the boot volume has empty directories that are read before the IFS is loaded.

FAT32

• Improved cache performance and stability.
• Better conformity with standards when formatting media.
• Improved messages for errors and utilities, including cache control.
• Improved disk check handling for mismatched FATs.

Panorama

• The Custom Resolution module was enhanced to better handle some types of Intel BIOS if patching is necessary.
