I'm just getting around to playing with my new Rev C BBB. This is my first time with Debian on a BBB. I'm having trouble finding the change log or update notes on the releases of the Debian images. For instance, the ID.txt from the stock image shows "*Debian Image 2014-04-23*", but I've just downloaded a version from *5-14*. Usually I like to keep things up-to-date as I have occasionally bumped into a bug that was fixed in later image builds. However, I also don't want to break my current setup when updating. A Change Log would be very helpful. I found the log for the Angstrom images but I haven't had much luck finding one for the newer Debian images.
Is there a maintained Change Log for the new Debian images? In particular, what are the changes from the shipped 04-23 version to the newest 5-14 image? Is there a better place to find images than http://beagleboard.org/latest-images? === With more searching I've found http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#BeagleBone.2FBeagleBone_Black. Why doesn't the *beagleboard.org* page have this "latest" image from *8-13*? Which should I use? That leads me to https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/releases, which leaves me even more confused. I see kernel versions 3.8, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16 and 3.17-rc1, with boneXX codes following. These don't seem to be necessarily updated in a chronological order. Which main kernel version is recommended and what are the main differences, as far as Debian on BBB is concerned, between 8, 14, 15, 16 and 17? >From what I can remember, 8 is the "most stable" version, with the others being sort-of "beta" with more possible bugs? I haven't kept up-to-date with this for several months so I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. For now I will plan to use a prebuilt image from https://rcn-ee.net/deb/microsd/wheezy/bone-debian-7.6-console-armhf-2014-08-13-2gb.img.xz.
