Major FreedomBox 0.5 Changes:
- New targets: CubieTruck, i386, amd64
- New apps in Plinth: Transmission, Dynamic DNS, Mumble, ikiwiki,
Deluge, Roundcube, Privoxy
- NetworkManager handles network configuration and can be manipulated
through Plinth.
- Software Upgrades (unattended-upgrades) module can upgrade the system,
and enable automatic upgrades.
- Plinth is now capable of installing ejabberd, jwchat, and privoxy, so
they are not included in image but can be installed when needed.
- User authentication through LDAP for SSH, XMPP (ejabberd), and ikiwiki.
- Unit test suite is automatically run on Plinth upstream. This helps us
catch at least some code errors before they are discovered by users!
- New, simpler look for Plinth.
- Performance improvements for Plinth.
