Major FreedomBox 0.7 Changes:

- Translations! Full translations of the interface in Danish, Dutch,
French, German and Norwegian Bokmål, and partial Telugu.
- Support for OLinuXino A20 MICRO and LIME2
- New Plinth applications: OpenVPN, reStore (currently disabled in
Plinth config, until Debian package is uploaded)
- Improved first-boot experience
- Many bugfixes and cleanups

Known Bugs:

- When Transmission page is accessed after install, it will show "403:
Forbidden". Here is a workaround for this issue:

1. Log into your FreedomBox using the console or SSH.

2. Edit the Transmission configuration:
$ sudo vi /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
Change "rpc-whitelist-enabled" to false. Save and quit.

3. Reload the Transmission server.
$ sudo invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload
*** Important: Make sure you *reload* instead of *restart* the service.
Otherwise your changes to the configuration will get overwritten.

4. Access the Transmission page at https://freedombox.local/transmission
or similar.
