Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag. > Can you tell me what are the update in this release ? Is LibreCMC > 1.3.2 based on OpenWRT CHAOS CALMER (15.05) ? > I'm not quite done writing all of the public facing stuff for this release, but it can be summed up as: * libreCMC has been based upon Chaos Calmer since its first public release(v1.2), but v1.3.2 is based upon the "stable" Chaos Calmer that was released a few weeks ago. The v1.3.x series now has LTS status and will be supported for 1.5 - 2 years. Bleeding edge development releases will be based upon upstream Designated Driver. * v1.3.2 follows upstream as much as possible, minus some targets. The majority of packages available upstream are now available in libreCMC [1]. If anyone finds something that is non-free, please file a ticket so it can be reviewed and removed. * This release will mark the Free Software Foundation's 30th anniversary and a change in the way in which development is carried out. The libreCMC project will provide three releases going forward : LTS, bleeding edge development (sporadic releases) and a non-linux kernel based release (Dropstart). More about Dropstart will be released after v1.3.2 is fully out. * All new libreCMC firmware images are now singed [2]. We will have proper instructions soon about how to verify libreCMC firmware images. Known issues: * If luci (the web-ui) is installed and you have less than 8 MB of flash ROM, don't install any additional packages. * Certain configurations that worked before, may not work on targets with < 8 MB of flash ROM (we are working on the issue). * bugs in the xburst target will need to be fixed, so those images won't appear until that is done. Things to keep in mind: We now have 4 images available for each target, factory + sysupgrade with the addition of: > * generic - minimal images that don't contain much. opkg must be used to install additional packages / functionality. * luci - Images that include the luci web-ui. Targets with < 8 MB of flash ROM should not install additional packages. I hope everyone enjoys this release and everyone gets out and celebrates the FSF 30th.
