Sebkinne Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey everyone, Since the last stable version (2.7.0) there have been many changes to the pineapple firmware. In version 2.8.0 you will find all changes from 2.7.0-2.7.7 plus the changes from the changelog below: Changelog: -Package Repositories -Added a 2.8.0 stable repository. No more issues with mismatched kernel versions. You will however get a "collected errors" message after the install is complete. Just ignore them if the only issue is a checksum mismatch. -Added an opkg workaround. -Various Fixes -Fixed a couple of broken links -Bugfixes Now, the changelog doesn't seem very large and granted, it isn't. But remember that this stable firmware includes all the fixes from the development firmwares. Stable firmwares are meant to be just that - stable. Their aim is not to add much functionality in comparison to the last development upgrade but rather to provide a stable, reliable firmware. We think we have come a long way since the last stable release and believe it will be a good base for the upcoming 3.0.0 release. Download: Over the air through the web-interface. (alternatively at http://cloud.wifipin...e.com?downloads)MD5: 6ac34bd228a3cc029d1f374b7248fd19Note: If coming from a firmware version below 2.6.4, wait for the pineapple to fully boot back up after flashing then navigate to http://172.16.42.1:1471 As usual, please leave any feedback in this thread.We hope you enjoy this release, it feels like one of the most stable yet!-The Jasager Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebkinne Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry about that - package added. It was a small oversight and needs no modifications on your part - just an opkg update ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebkinne Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 @Jashmane, Please make a new thread and don't put 2.8.0 unrelated issues into this thread ;) Your issue is something with the setup. Make a new thread and give more information on OS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebkinne Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 The current beta seems promising. If all goes well the release of a fix will be by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
