Hi All,

Update Time! I have just finished uploading the most recent image (MinePeon – Alpha 0.0.3) to SourceForge, grab it HERE.

A lot has gone on in this build, lots of clean-up, I have moved all relevant files into /opt/minepeon for easier inspection, fixed a few bugs, and made improvements.

The main thing you will note with the new build is that there is now the start of a web interface, you now no longer need to ssh (or putty) to enter your miner details, all you need to do is open your browser to http://ip.address.of.the.miner/ and there is a very simple form to enter the URL, username and password of the miner account.  The side effect of this is that the miner will automatically start mining with my account, so change it quickly, once changed though the setting will persist through restarts so you only have to do it once.

The update system is 99% of the way there and the next update you do will be a live update without the need to download a 300MB+ image and write it to your SD Card.

I have now had reports that people have had FPGA miners run for 4 days + without the need for interaction, and I hope that I have fixed the ZTEX problems in this release (I did something dumb in the last release, fixed it now).

As always, thanks everyone who downloads and tests this for me, it is appreciated.  I am hoping that I can get it out of Alpha stage before people start to need to start running their ASIC's.
