v1.15
Highlights and Changes

Announcements
- Support for the Rock 5B / 5A and NanoPi R6S / R6C will be coming over the next few months. Special thanks to FriendlyELEC and Radxa for providing the hardware.

Highlights and Changes
- Re-worked the audio system to support more devices (as a result, the on-board microphone is no longer working)
- Increased the CMA memory allocation size to 256MB (this should help with stability as some users have reported GPU-related crashes)
