v1.1.3
96e8d1e

This is a minor, bugfix release to v1.1.2. If you are already on v1.1.0, v1.1.1 or v1.1.2, you can upgrade simply by running genup (or wait for the automated weekly update to do this for you). However, you may also want to emerge the new top-level applications available (particuarly kodi and clementine), as these will not be automatically installed for you unless you have set the apps USE flag on the rpi3-64bit-meta package (this flag is not on by default).

Users on earlier v1.0.{0,1,2} releases should follow the manual upgrade instructions to 1.1.0 below; the final step genup therein will actually bring you to v1.1.3 now.

You can easily check your current version at any time, by issuing:

demouser@pi64 ~ $ eix rpi3-64bit-meta

Changes in this release (see main project page for further details):

  • Added the top-level packages media-tv/kodi-17.4_rc1 (a FOSS media-player / entertainment hub) and media-sound/clementine-1.3.1-r6 (a FOSS music player and library organizer).
  • Added dev-java/icedtea-3.5.1, a FOSS build of OpenJDK (Java) v8. This is included in the image by default, as libreoffice is now built with the java USE flag enabled (as recommended for its Base application).
  • Added x11-misc/twofing-0.1.2-r2, which provides two-finger gesture support (emulated right-click, scrolling, pinch zoom and rotate) when using the official 7" touchscreen. It is active by default (but has no effect on systems without a touchscreen attached).
  • Added app-accessibility/onboard-1.4.1, an onscreen keyboard, again primarily for touchscreen users.
  • Prevented NetworkManager from changing the hostname if one is offered to the machine via DHCP (see the tail of issue #13 for details), as this was causing the .Xauthority file for the automatically logged-in session to become invalid.
  • Added a pseudo-ebuild xfce-extra/xfce4-mixer-4.99.0-r1, to allow seamless replacement of xfce-extra/xfce4-mixer, which has been masked, due to vulnerabilities (Gentoo bug 628424). The new version installs media-sound/volumeicon instead.
  • Various minor ebuild tidy-ups.
  • All packages brought up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 15 September 2017.
