This is a compile of the Zephyr user interface for Raspberry Pi 3B with a 7" touchscreen and includes all required shared Qt libraries. The install.sh script provided with this release additionally installs all required packages, moved the Qt libraries to /usr/local/qt5pi and adds a line to rc.local to start automatically on boot up.
