UTM v0.4 OVA?

There is no dedicated OVA for UTM 0.4. Creating OVA for every change is just too much overhead. You can download the UTM 0.3 OVA from the link below and upgrade to the latest. The upgrade takes less than 2 minutes with internet access. Manual upgrade is also quick but you have to download the packages and copy them to the UTM VM.
Download OVA
DO NOT follow the instructions from the read-me file packaged with the OVA. They are old.
Find the latest installation/upgrade instructions here.
