Release notes for BubbaTwo 1.0.8
============================
This is the first major update for BubbaTwo. Its mainly a bugfix release hopefully fixing a lot of the rough edges in the initial release. (In the future we hope to do more minor updates instead of a few larger ones.)
[edit] Added note on overwritten apt configs.
How to upgrade
-------------------
Make sure you don't have any activities running such as uploads, downloads, print jobs etc. Then log in as admin in web-ui. Choose "settings" menu entry. Choose "Update" in the sub menu. Press the "Update" button.
Warning, if you have modified your apt sources to include 3rd party sources etc. Its not recommended to run the web based updater described above. Please use command line tools instead doing a dist-upgrade.
Note: This upgrade will overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/preferences for some older installs without asking. This was unfortunately impossible to avoid since we have changed some crucial settings on this.
Note: Since we had some initial problems with timeouts in this functionality. It is possible that an error page is shown in the browser after a while. If this occurs please go back to the update page and retry the upgrade. After a while it then should cleanly say "0 package(s) to update". Then the upgrade is complete.
Note: Since this upgrade also has a new kernel. Bubba has to be restarted to fully function after the upgrade.
Major changes and new features
---------------------------------------
* Kernel upgraded to 2.6.26.5 and a lot of modules added.
* Added "show logs" functionality. A new sub menu to Settings now includes the ability to browse all important log files in the system.
* Experimental addition Jumbo Frames configuration. Under Network/LAN the ability to add Jumbo Frames support has been added. This feature is however to be regarded as experimental. Enable only if you are sure it will work on your network.
Minor changes and bug fixes
---------------------------
* Fix for silicon bug preventing wan access when Bubba used as router.
* A lot of fixes in Easyfind and Network settings.
* Download as zip had garbage in archive preventing zip files to open on Windows
* A lot of small fixes all around in web-ui and basic functionality (To many to be listed).
