Image Modifications:

VMWare | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219

VirtualBox | Updated to Debian Stretch, many thanks @MichaIng: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219

RPi | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475

Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:

General | Odroid XU3/4 images updated: Includes kernel support for EMMC 5.1 (thanks Meveric): https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1252

General | DietPi RPi kernel: Updated to 4.9.62.

General | DietPi RPi kernel: Will no longer re-install, if the current version is already at latest.

General | Added fahrenheit readouts for cpu_info and dietpi-config. For those "over the pond" :D : http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2516&p=9772#p9772

General | Sparky SBC: Kernel update to add support for USB 1.1 DACs, thanks @sudeep. This must be enabled manually, if using a USB 1.1 DAC, as this breaks Allo WiFi dongle. Edit "/DietPi/uEnv.txt" and change the value "aotg.aotg1_speed=1" (from "0"), then reboot.

General | We now define a default LD_LIBRARY_PATH for all systems, exported from /etc/bash.bashrc: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475#issuecomment-350380744

DietPi-Services | Run "dietpi-services help" to see a full list of updated commands: Added support for "enable" and "disable". "disable" will stop and disable the service and prevent it from running, "enable" will enable and start the service. EG: "dietpi-services disable cron", will prevent Cron from starting. Added support for start/stop/restart a single service (eg: dietpi-services stop apache2). This is basically a symlink to systemD: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1114

DietPi-Config | WiFi: Now uses the wpa_supplicant.conf method to setup WiFi connections. WEP is no longer supported by DietPi in this mode. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and OPEN hosts supported: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1262

DietPi-Backup | "Full Backup" Mode is now the default for fresh DietPi installations. This is mainly due to MySQL data now being in the DietPi userdata directory.

DietPi-Config | Tools > Benchmarks: Added ability to benchmark CPU performance based on bash + integer: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1253#issuecomment-346881878

DietPi-Config | Time sync modes: NTP is now uninstalled when SystemD timedatectl is enabled. Reinstalled on demand. Timedatectl pool servers are now also set: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1208#issuecomment-343762480

DietPi-Software | First run setup, now logged to /etc/dietpi/logs/dietpi-firstrun-setup.log.

DietPi-Software | APT log: Moved to /etc/dietpi/logs/dietpi-software_apt.log, to prevent RAMlog clearing log during automated installations.

@Fourdee That is a big list. Congrats! I wonder why RPi is still on 4.9 kernel which is quite old. 4.12 has native Pi Zero support and 4.15 is in test now.

[Fourdee]

@Invictaz

As i've mentioned previously, 4.9 is LTS, we will follow/match official RPi image main kernel versions, to ensure stable experience.

[MichaIng]

Jep looks good!

I suggest the two changelogs about ownCloud+Nextcloud moved into bugfixes and add the content of latest Phase II to changes/improvments. Will add this together with installation info echos and user info in forum tomorrow.

As fourdee already mentioned in between, we are already on master instead of stable rpi firmware repo. I guess "next" would be a bid too experimental.

Legend, you have admin rights on forums 👍

Legend, you have admin rights on forums 👍
Thanks, but hmm I don't see an option yet to edit your posts on software overview? Admin rights are there, shown at bottom, but maybe even admin is not allowed to edit another admins posts on blocked thread?

Hmm ... you want to edit this?

http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10

Hit *Editin the top line and get started. And have fun ... 😄

If you are Mod or Admin you can do everthing with postings or threads on forums.
That is irrelevant, if it's LOCKED or who has post this.

@Fourdee

• can you please switch me back to "green"? Thanks.

[Fourdee]

@k-plan

Done 👍

Yes thought so, but there is no edit button at the top, just quote and report. Just found it on my own posts, where expected, but not on any others post, as if would not be admin yet.
On user profile I see that I am member of admin group, also [ Administer user ] and log into admin panel is possible. But I don't see any admin features at other peoples post, whether edit nor lock or something like that. Already tried to relog, but does not help so far.
Maybe permissions on the forum need to be flushed somehow?

[k-plan]

@MichaIng

hmm ... okay, das hört sich jetzt nicht so gut an.
Wenn ich mich noch recht entsinne, müsstest du das aber selber beheben können, solange du dich im Admin-Panel einloggen kannst. Tippe, dir fehlen die Gruppenrechte für Global moderators All forums. Du kannst ja einmal bei johnvick schauen, welche Unterschiede es zu dir gibt.
Sonst müssen wir auf Fourdee warten, bis der es korrigiert.

Was ich dir noch auf die Schnelle anbieten kann, wäre du erstellst den gewünschten/geänderten Beitrag oder Thread und postest diesen in irgend einen Thread von mir. Muss darin aber bitte einen Link setzen, wo du ihn gerne hinhaben möchtest. Den Rest regele ich dann für dich. Ja, quick-and-very-dirty, nur damit es erst einmal voran geht.

[Fourdee]

@MichaIng

that. Already tried to relog, but does not help so far.

Bizarre, although, she is an old PHPbb forum (needs updating, on my list lol)

I've added you to global mods aswell, reapplied all permissions for your account. I used the "Test user permissions" feature, and I could see the edit button.

I've also flushed sessions and cache.

If problems persist, try clearing your browser cache.

[MichaIng]

Jep, browser cache seems to be the problem. Everything works on phone. Will do the editing this evening.

€: @Fourdee @k-plan
It worked now 😃. I just added the information to ownClouds and Nextclouds software posts. I also added a topic about the whole rework to the general forum. I hope it is okay, to have this as announcement for a while? Thought this would be nice, as we have so many (especially Nextcloud) users, that might want to know what is happening to their instance 🙂: http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2564
