New release is finally out...apologize once again for this being over a month late but this should have squashed a large number of bugs and should be super stable before we start working on a big 2.1 feature release.

As always if you do an OTA update please wait at least half an hour or simply close the tab out and start a new one and wait for the UI to come up (if UI shows 0% update has finishes and you can refresh)

2.1 will also include a new update mechanism that will eliminate update failure and make process way smoother

Apollo OS v2.0.6 - 11/26/24

https://github.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/releases/tag/v2.0.6

New Changes in v2.0.6:

- Redesigned Solo Miner Page making it easy to keep track of multiple miners/wallets mining on the solo pool! Stats are organized by individual wallet addresses, and each wallet address can have multiple workers  (ie address.worker1 address.worker2 etc).
- Node connection count has been upped to 64 connections by default for more robust peering especially during solo mining
- Pesky 32bit and graphQL errors have finally been squashed...small number of users that were affected by this should not see this again
- UI improvements, especially for small format screens and mobile UI
- Improved reliability of node startup during boot, which should reduce "Connection Refused" Node errors for some users
- Multiple UI bug fixes, and backend improvements


Update completed, all seems well with Futurebit. The newest Etcher version works fine for flashing the new MCU2 v2.0.6. Old Etcher (v1.18.11) fails to load on my Mac now, advises to immediately dismount or will cause damage.
