The big update here is WPA support. Unfortunately, this bloated the package significantly as I needed several packages to provide *good* WPA support. But it works! Also added the ability to upgrade versions through the web interface. It won't do you any good for this version, but it should for the next.
See release notes.
Fix bug where frame may reboot while booting because of check to see if FEH and X server are running. Make IP determination more robust for different network devices. Improved FrameChannel support, including GUI. Miscellaneous improvements to set up script. Miscellaneous improvements to web PHP code. Remove fluxter application from fluxbox slit (sometimes could be seen in the corner even when "hidden"). Remove "myiwconfig" from backup. Should be set-up during installation. Only back up McDPF background, not all DSL backgrounds.
The main improvements are better FrameChannel support (including support in the GUI), and a fix for an annoying bug which could cause lots of reboots. Full details of the changes are available in the release notes.
A release is available! I certainly won't call this project done, or even stable. But I would say it's working well enough for typical use (I have one at home and work). More features coming soon. If you have any problems, please log them in the tracker.
This is the first!
