That’s right, Arch Linux 2016.12.01 has been released just a few moments ago, and it’s the last Live ISO respin for 2016, bringing with it the latest Linux 4.8.11 kernel, as well as all the updates that have been pushed in the stable repositories of the GNU/Linux distribution during the month of November. Of course, new Arch Linux ISO respins are designed only for those who plan on reinstalling their systems because of various reasons or deploy the operating system on new computers without the need to download and install hundreds of updated packages from the official repos.
