The latest Etcher beta is out, get it from https://etcher.io/!

This version is the last one before the final v1.0 release. We invested a lot of effort in chasing down some of the remaining known bugs, and we’re drastically improving our error reporting functionality to make sure Etcher becomes an extremely robust tool in your workflow.
