Hello, I'm pleased to announce that FreedomBox 0.9 has been released! This release comes 9 weeks after the previous release (0.8).
The FreedomBox packages are available in Debian testing: freedombox-setup 0.9
and plinth 0.9.1-1.
We are planning to build new images for this release. However, there is an
issue with building images for armel/armhf boards at the moment. We should have
a workaround for this issue soon, and then the images will be built and
uploaded.
More information on this release is available on the wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/ReleaseNotes
Major FreedomBox 0.9 Changes:
- Fixed Wi-Fi AP setup.
- Prevent lockout of users in 'sudo' group after setup is complete.
- Improved setup mechanism for Plinth modules. Allows users to see what a
module is useful for, before doing the setup and package install. Also allows
essential modules to be setup by default during FreedomBox install.
- Added HTTPS certificates to Monkeysphere page. Reorganized so that multiple
domains can be added to a key.
- Added Radicale, a CalDAV and CardDAV server.
- Added Minetest Server, a multiplayer infinite-world block sandbox.
- Added Tiny Tiny RSS, a news feed reader.
Known Issues:
- ownCloud has been removed from Debian testing, and is not installable through
Plinth.
- If you are using ownCloud on FreedomBox, please know that it will not be
maintained.
- We are looking for applications to replace the main functionality that was
provided by ownCloud.
- Radicale is an alternative for the contact and calendar sync features.
- We still need to find and integrate a good alternative for the file sync
feature.
Thanks to all who helped to put this release together!
