• Electron update metadata package (ZIP):
  • status: present
  • file: Beamo-Flasher-0.5.3-arm64-mac.zip

What changed

• Windows flashing now fails closed on mixed-result writes and safely detaches completed media without destructive finalization.
• Windows device discovery now falls back to PowerShell when the native descriptor query cannot identify a device.
• General Flasher no longer presents a Raspberry Pi image path, checksum state, or retry warning before an image is selected.
• Update checks now time out cleanly instead of hanging indefinitely.
• Cross-process session locks now tolerate unrelated local-port collisions while preserving single-session safety.
• macOS release validation now checks the active Beamo Flasher or Beamo Pi product identity correctly.

Included downloads

• Beamo Flasher installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Beamo Pi standalone installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Combined Beamo Flasher + Beamo Pi suite installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Beamo Flasher CLI archives and checksum manifests.

Install (Normal macOS flow)

Beamo Flasher + Beamo Pi 0.5.1

Beamo Flasher + Beamo Pi 0.5.1

Windows correctness fixes.

Highlights

• Fixed removable USB/SD media failing during prepare or eject on Windows.
  Set-Disk -IsOffline is not supported on removable media and previously
  caused a hard failure; prepare/finalize/detach now dismount volumes and
  soft-attempt offline instead of requiring it.
• Hardened Windows packaging so a Beamo Pi build fails loudly if the wrong
  product identity gets baked in, instead of silently shipping as
  "Beamo Flasher" under the hood.

Builds are unsigned (Gatekeeper/SmartScreen will warn — on macOS, right-click → Open).

Assets

• macOS: Beamo-Flasher-0.5.1-arm64.pkg, Beamo-Pi-0.5.1-arm64.pkg,
  Beamo-Flasher-Installer.dmg, Beamo-Flasher-0.5.1-arm64-mac.zip (+ latest-mac.yml),

• SHA256SUMS-{macos,windows,linux}.txt

Beamo Flasher + Beamo Pi 0.5.0

Beamo Flasher + Beamo Pi 0.5.0

Comprehensive UX simplification pass.

Highlights

• Removed several rarely-used enterprise/fleet features entirely: the
  source-checkout updater, team-catalog signing/import, first-boot
  network validation, and the physical slot map/throughput tuner UI.
  Built-in catalog, favorites, URL+SHA256 flashing, first-boot
  customization, and the auto-throttle scheduler are all unaffected.
• The main flash path now requires far fewer decisions: verify mode and
  retries default from Settings with one collapsed "Options for this
  run" override panel, image selection shows one unified status block,
  start-flow problems surface as a single list, and confirmations,
  banners, and update controls are each consolidated to one place.
• The two overlapping "find the broken drive" flows are now a single
  guided drive-checkup overlay.

Builds are unsigned (Gatekeeper/SmartScreen will warn — on macOS, right-click → Open).
