QUELLE: Raspbmc
It’s a little late because I’ve been very busy, and wanted to make sure the update for this goes smoothly rather than rush something out. This is a big one. Some of you may have got part of the update earlier last week and seen a ‘Service management’ or root filesystem update. That was done to prepare your systems for this update well in advance. Here’s what’s new this September:
- New initramfs that can repair corruption when it occurs.
- UUID labels now also supported for USB volumes
- In October, we will switch to UUID labels for USB installs by default
- Raspbmc is now faster
- Thanks to popcornmix for the following XBMC changes:
- Fix for crash when bookmarking
- Dynamic range compression to boost center channel volume
- Speed improvement for opening movies library
- Fixed for compressed audio in stereo
- Bug fixes with JPEG parsing
- Avoid submitting too large audio buffers
- I’ve also added the following to XBMC:
- Windows Media Center PVR support in XBMC (thanks ‘krustyreturns’ for the client)
- 24 hour nightly builds resumed
- Linux 3.10 is now the long term kernel as supported by Greg Kroah-Hartman
- Added 1-wire module support as requested
- Fix for isochronous signal support which affected DVB adapters
- Improved DVB adapter support
- GSPCA webcam support
- Fix rsyslog issues
- New Boblight addon update fixes issues with refresh rate changes
- Fix a bug where secure-rmc can cause high CPU usage
- Fix a bug where failed kernel update results in no WiFi
- Silence md5sum checks when updating
- Downclock CPU frequency when updating to minimise likelihood of corruption
- Synchronous writeback on vfat to reduce corruption
- Wake On LAN support allows Raspbmc to wake a remote system before XBMC starts
- sabnzbd newsgroup reader available in Raspbmc Settings
- Updated standalone image and NOOBS images
