Going and try to get the image update out tomorrow or tuesday so there is a least a built in protection for rare edge cases like this.

when will we have the next release?

thks.

Sorry we had to do a kernel upgrade to the base system get some things we needed, which broke other stuff and this took way longer than planned. Image is currently done, just doing testing over the weekend and should be out on monday.

Hey JStef - do you have a changelog available so we can appreciate the work you've done beforehand?

tentative changelog below:

ChangeLog

-system kernel updated to 4.19 for fixes and reliability
-lowered CPU aggressiveness to keep MCU cooler for better reliability
-enabled low level hardware watchdog, this fixes the very rare issue some people were reporting and any system failure or hardware monitor failure will now cause a system reboot and prevent unit from overheating
-reduced SD card writes from hardware monitor to increase SD card life
-you can now manually set fan to a minimum of 5%
-you can now edit pools directly instead of deleting and re-adding
-added settings option to enable local bfgminer API access
-stratum pool difficulty is now displayed in dashboard instead of discarded shares
-OS will now automatically expand SD card to maximum size on first boot
-multiple dashboard visual fixes
-lots of hardware monitor bug fixes
