User Facing Changes

User interface changes

  • User interface screens have changed
  • New dashboard page has been added as the home screen

  • New voice message recordings

Operation

  • This release uses Python 3. On the Raspberry Pi you must use the python3 command to invoke Python 3 (unless you are running in a virtual environment, in which case you can use the python command)
