-Download the new Apollo image linked above and make sure you UNZIP it (always a good idea to check MD5 checksum in case download was corrupted...make sure checksum is run on the .img file NOT the downloaded .img.zip)
-Use Etcher to re-image your SD card with the updated image file

Etcher has supported already for few years extracting the image from the zip on the fly as long as the zip contains only one file, like is the case here. Therefore, there shouldn't be any real reason to unzip first. I also think you should take the checksums from the zip file itself since that's essentially the release you are distributing. At least I see it so that the checksum can be used to validate that the release is indeed what it should be and not something that has been replaced with a botnet addon. That's why the checksum should be of the distributed file instead of a file within it. Zip by itself will anyway create an internal checksum of the file and extracting it will fail if the file has been somehow corrupted during transfer. If you'd want to go the pro way then signing the release file with gpg would be the way to go. Wink

Few comments regarding the release itself, less than previously thanks to fixes:

the login screen password input field still doesn't grab keyboard focus automatically on page load
serial-getty@ttyS0.service is still active and constantly trying to start and failing to do so
/var/log.hdd could use a cleanup before release
documentation for front led blink signals is missing from the first post, I've seen at least slow yellow, fast yellow, slow green and irregular red

Yea this release was a bit rushed since I wanted to get the hardware watchdog implemented ASAP. Everything else is on the list for the next release.

As for documentation I am still working on a really thorough "User Guide" that is taking way longer than I like to write up in between all the software updates, and PSU I'm working on. Im forcing myself to finish that up next week.

As for LEDs here is the basic description:

-Slow Blinking Yellow LED: System Boot/Hardware initialization
-Fast Blinking Yellow LED: Hardware passed all checks/inits, started bfgminer/connecting to pool
-Slow Blinking Green LED: Bfgminer successfully started and connected to pool
-Slow Blinking Green LED + Random Red flashes: Normal miner operation...Red flashes indicate each share returned by ASIC board and show low level miner activity
-Solid Red LED: Hardware fault or system shutdown (Red LED during normal operation means hardware monitor detected a fault with either the voltage regulator, Fan operation, or abnormal PCB temperatures).
