+ACRN v3.0.2 (Nov 2022)
+######################
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of the Project ACRN hypervisor
+version 3.0.2 with hot fixes to the v3.0 release.
+
+ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor that is built with
+real-time and safety-criticality in mind. It is optimized to streamline
+embedded development through an open-source platform. See the
+:ref:`introduction` introduction for more information.
+
+All project ACRN source code is maintained in the
+https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor repository and includes
+folders for the ACRN hypervisor, the ACRN device model, tools, and
+documentation. You can download this source code either as a zip or
+tar.gz file (see the `ACRN v3.0.2 GitHub release page
+<https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/releases/tag/v3.0.2>`_) or
+use Git ``clone`` and ``checkout`` commands::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
+   cd acrn-hypervisor
+   git checkout v3.0.2
+
+The project's online technical documentation is also tagged to
+correspond with a specific release: generated v3.0 documents can be
+found at https://projectacrn.github.io/3.0/.  Documentation for the
+latest development branch is found at https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/.
+
+ACRN v3.0.2 requires Ubuntu 20.04 (as does v3.0).  Follow the instructions in the
+:ref:`gsg` to get started with ACRN.
+
+
+What's New in v3.0.2
+********************
+
+Passthrough PMU (performance monitor unit) to user VM only in debug builds
+  ACRN v2.6 introduced PMU passthrough to RT VMs that have LAPIC passthrough
+  enabled. This is useful for performance profiling at development time but can
+  cause workload interference in a production build. PMU passthrough is only
+  enabled now for a hypervisor debug mode build.
+
+Added tarfile member sanitization to Python tarfile package extractall() calls
+  A vulnerability in the ACRN Configurator is patched, where files extracted
+  from a maliciously crafted tarball could  be written to somewhere outside the
+  target directory and cause unsafe behavior.
+
+Run executables with absolute paths in board inspector
+  Using partial executable paths in the board inspector may cause unintended
+  results when another executable has the same name and is found via PATH
+  settings. The board inspector now uses absolute paths to executable.
+
