Testing this now on quite recent Tiger Lake -based DELL laptop. Everything else seems to be working so far except suspend (which won’t work because of some lacking Xen support or smth).
I wonder is it possible to update to proper release version once it comes alive? Or is reinstall required?
Just updating, in dom0 and templates.
The beta installation image is, of course, also available from our
onion site:

I switched from 4.0.4 to 4.1.0-beta1, with the new-install-and-backup/restore process. I chose Debian as main template and dvm-based sys-{net,firewall}.
After some settings, now all works except minor cases. Thanks for all the work done by the Qubes-OS team! 
The minor cases:
2 posts were merged into an existing topic: Debian Disposable VM works for sys-* but not for disp-{1234}
I installed a signed 4.1 weekly and it seems I am already on current!?
Do I need to do anything to stay up to date or is everything fine?
Keep updating.
If you are using the beta, then there may be some advantage in
enabling the testing repositories. The pace of development is fast.
Am I using the Beta? I don’t know. The signed weekly was the only version that installed successfully, so that is what I went with.
@adw wrote that one should not use testing unless they are a tester. I really only want a system that is stable, supports my hardware (lol) and receives security updates.
Yes, you are on beta, otherwise you would have had to add kernel-parameters to install 
R4.1-Beta on X1 Carbon Gen 9 (Tiger Lake) works out of the box, beside little visual glitches (kernel 5.4.67 doesnt have them),(resume from suspend leads to reboot/black screen (with spinning fans). sound works (not mic) with additional config.
Maybe qubes-dom0-update/sys-whonix is not fully functional regarding search/list, but had no time to dig deeper yet.
Do you mean you got suspend/resume working with some additional config? I thought this is not possible on Tiger Lake. If you did, please share.
Sorry, only sound. resume (from suspend) always ends with reboot or black screen with spinning fan(s)
R4.1-Beta1 installed on Thinkpad L390 (i5 8th gen) works out of the box… except suspend/resume (same problem). Wifi, Sound, mic and integrated camera is working fine…
Does i3 wm work on qubes 4.1?
running i3-gaps from contrib repo with picom and polybar without any trouble so far.
I do not see any video at the link.
Is there a secret handshake you need to know to download it? I tried the ftp and onion over the past few weeks and my downloads always get cut at around 1.5GB.
Yes, after it starts downloading you should type the following sequence:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
I’m kidding, the link should work fine. Maybe the problem is on your end? Are you inside a VM? maybe you don’t have enough storage so the download stops when the disk is full
I have 85% storage left. I tried though tor and firefox, appvm, through multiple 4.04 installations.
On an unrelated issue, just installed whonix 16 today, removed 15 and now dom0 updates don’t work. I tried an in place update to 4.1 and get messages related to “Unable to detect release version (use ‘–releasever’ to specify release version”. This error also applies to downloading whonix-15 or any other templates again.
