Boot Linux on your Mac, easily
I am pleased to announce the second Mac Linux USB Loader 3.3 beta. Version 3.3 is designed to be simpler, faster, and easier to use, and the second beta expands on the work that was done in the first beta. This beta release contains a fair number of changes from the previous one:
In line with the new security policies Apple is pushing for the upcoming macOS Sierra, Mac Linux USB Loader is now being distributed as a signed xip file. I am still learning how to use this format, so this file may not extract on your computer. If not, right-click on it and select Open and tell OS X to extract the file anyway, or remove the Quarantine bit from Terminal.
Furthermore, please send feedback. You can do that by filing a bug report here on GitHub or by emailing me.

I am pleased to announce the release of Mac Linux USB Loader 3.2.2. This release patches Mac Linux USB Loader to ensure compatibility with Application Transport Security policies in OS X El Capitan, since the vast majority of distribution download mirrors do not support secure encrypted connections. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is now supported, and additionally includes some localization fixes for Dutch.
This release is signed with a new security certificate, unlike all previous releases, and ships with an updated version of the Sparkle framework. Neither of these should affect end-users.
