Maru OS 0.4.1 is now available!
This release contains important security updates for Maru Desktop and minor fixes for the easy installers. The most important of these are:
Although SSH services have now been disabled by default in Maru Desktop, it is still highly recommended that you change the default password on the default "maru" account as soon as possible--ideally, the first time you log in.

Check out the release notes for all the details.
