It’s a breaking change; upon timeout reached, only remote changed sources’ media are fetched again (previously, all media of all remote sources were downloaded); Web/P images added to whitelisted images’ file formats; better logging and printer debugging output; refetching hashes improved and better handling of connection issues (Dropbox improved); USB device is unmounted as soon as media have been copied to the internal SD card for a safer USB key removal, idea thanks to Francois Audirac; default MEDIA_FOLDER moved to /var/lib/rs; the underlying operating system has been updated."

Raspberry Slideshow is a distribution focused on being a quick-to-set-up platform for displaying image and video files on Raspberry Pi computers. The project has released version 9.0 of Raspberry Slideshow, which is based on Raspbian "Jessie". "Underlying Raspbian Jessie operating system updated (I tried to switch to Raspbian Stretch, but it's still full of bugs, like an incredible and random error when mounting USB keys); kernel and bootloader packages have been updated as well; omxplayer is now taken from Stretch (APT pinning); the way the operating system mounts the inserted USB keys has been changed: usbmount has been removed (because it is now deprecated for the now-stable Debian Stretch - it's available but it does not work on Raspbian Stretch, another issue!) and now Raspberry Slideshow itself is responsible for the mount; improvement: all txt config files (as network-share.txt & co) are now pre-processed in order to clean non-unix line terminators in one passage (dos2unix); if Raspberry Slideshow finds out a .txt.txt filename exists, which of course is an error, it renames the file as .txt." Additional changes are listed on the project's changelog page. Download (MD5): rs-9.0-release.zip (552MB, pkglist). |
