Release v1.0.9 (2016-09-18)

The following changes are part of this release:

  • Updated kernel and firmware to support new Raspberry Pi 1B+ revision. This fixes issue 415.
  • Improved various documentation parts. This fixes issue 407.
  • Improved the way /etc/hostname and /etc/network/interfaces are written to make it more resilient.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.8.1 (2015-12-24)

The following changes are part of this release:

  • Added check for existence of file before operating on it.
  • Fixed wrong command when setting security on swap file in documentation. This fixes issue 327 and fixes issue 343.
  • Added info to documentation to make clear that ntpdate is used primarily and rdate only as fallback.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.8 (2015-12-01)

The following changes are part of this release:

  • Changed default release from wheezy to jessie.
  • Changed the retrieval of date/time from rdate to ntpdate.
  • Moved setting of /tmp to /etc/fstab so it works across init systems.
  • Make sure kernel gets installed on all preset values. This fixes issue 253, issue 277 and issue 279.
  • Improved the checks on the archive keys and extracted the code for it into separate functions.
  • Added gzip compression to the cpio files to reduce the size of the installer.
  • Changed setting of various filesystem parameter to be after loading of online_config so it can be set from there.
  • Various improvements to the build process.
  • Various improvements to the documentation.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.7 (2015-05-05)

Below are the changes since the 1.0.6 release.

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Added support for the Raspberry Pi 2. This fixes issue 180.
  • Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.18.
  • Removed the kernel-upgrade-script since it doesn't handle sections in /boot/config.txt. See raspbian-tools issue 2.
  • Fixed the insecure downloading of the raspberrypi.org GPG key. This fixes issue 64.
  • Increased the size of /boot/ to 128MB by default. This fixes issue 190.
  • Fixed the kernel crashes/rainbow screens that happened with the rpi15 kernel. This fixes issue 199 and issue 201.

NOTE: This release also adds support for DeviceTree and this is enabled by default on the Pi 2.
For the Pi 1B and 1B+ it is disabled by default (in /boot/config.txt) since it seems to be the cause for the various kernel crashes/rainbow screens. You can enable DeviceTree quite simple by commenting out or removing the device_tree= line and it usually just works. But since we've had just too many crashes it is disabled by default. See also raspberrypi/linux#914.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.7-RC (2015-04-22)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Fixed most of kernel crashes/rainbow screens that happened with the rpi15 kernel. This fixes issue 199 and issue 201.
  • Increased the size of /boot/ to 128MB by default. This fixes issue 190.
  • Added a workaround for too old firmware files in the official archive which prevented the installer to boot on a Pi 1B/1B+.

This release also adds the following new functionality:

  • Support for Device Tree.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.7-beta (2015-03-05)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Added support for the Raspberry Pi 2. This fixes issue 180.
  • Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.18.
  • Removed the kernel-upgrade-script since it doesn't handle sections in /boot/config.txt. See raspbian-tools issue 2.

Release v1.0.6 (2015-01-09)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Updated the kernel used during installation to 3.12.
  • The kernel modules needed as dependency of other modules are now dynamically determined.
  • Lots of documentation corrections/improvements/etc.
  • Set the console blank timeout to 1 hour so that (normally) the whole installation process can be viewed.
  • Added script which handles kernel upgrades. This fixes issue 88 and issue 89
  • Changed permissions on log file so it is not world readable any more. This fixes issue 106.

This release also adds the following new functionality:

  • Introduction of the config directory. Files and folders placed in that directory are made available in /boot/config/ for further processing during the installation. It is strongly recommended to place all your configuration files and folders inside the config directory.
  • When building the installer the config directory, installer-config.txt and post-install.txt are automatically packed inside the generated image/archive, so you won't have to do that manually afterwards any more.
  • Added support for the serial console on the installed system. This fixes issue 57. The serial console can also be used during installation, but you'd have to modify cmdline.txt for that (place the ttyAMA0 parameters at the end).
  • Timing of the start/end and the durarion of the installation.
  • Also create images compressed with bz2 which should be easier to use on a Mac.

Other changes:

  • Added @goranche as official collaborator to the project.
  • Code re-organization for better maintainability.
  • Added workaround for non-working busybox-static (full story).

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.5 (2014-07-23)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • When there were multiple logfiles of failures, they weren't all copied properly. Now they are.

This release also adds the following new functionality:

  • Addition of the following commands: vcgencmd, edidparser, tvservice, vcdbg and vchiq_test.

The libraspberrypi-bin package is installed from the raspbian archive, thus available where ever you are, without additional configuration. This fixes issue 65.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.4 (2014-07-21)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Raspberry Pi Model B+ is now also supported.
    Thanks to plugwash for packaging the updated firmware files. This fixes issue 73.

This release also adds the following new functionality:

  • Logging of the installation process.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.3 (2014-07-16)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Downloaded packages are now verified against the signing key and the GPG keys are now included in the installer. This means that the '--allow-unauthenticated' parameter of debootstrap is now removed :-) Thanks a lot to Jim Turner for providing the pull request which implemented this!
    This closes issue 55 and issue 66.
  • Removed an invalid mount parameter for f2fs. This closes issue 67.
  • The kernel version and thereby the initramfs version is now dynamically determined at install time, so that a new kernel version won't break the installer anymore. This fixes issue 68.
  • Fixed the check for the losetup version.
  • Made retrieving/setting the date/time more resilient.
  • Update the project URL as displayed during install.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.2 (2014-05-21)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Make the installation process more resilient by not aborting the installation when a not fatal error occurs, like 'apt-get update' or the installation of the firmware package.
  • Hard code wheezy for the raspberrypi.org archive, since they don't support jessie (yet).
  • Support multiple compression methods and don't hard code it to bz2. Recently the raspbian archives compression changed from bz2 to xz, making the update.sh script fail.
  • Fixed some documentation issues.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.1 (2014-05-18)

This release fixes the following issues:

  • Unable to boot the system when installing / (root) on usb and ext4 was used as filesystem (fixes issue 47). Fixed by always installing latest kernel package.
  • Configuration file not working as expected (fixes issue 50). This appears to be related to creating/modifying configuration files on windows, which has a different line ending then linux. Fixed by pushing the configuration file through dos2unix before using it.
  • Unable to login to the system when jessie was used as release (fixes issue 45). This was caused by a change in default configuration of openssh-server, which now disables password login by root. Fixed by re-enabling that for jessie.

See the README for features/installation instruction/etc for this release.

Release v1.0.0 (2014-04-15)

This is the first release of the Raspbian (minimal) unattended netinstaller provided through GitHub.

If you find any issues, please report them through the Issues feature here on GitHub.

Release Notes:

  • First release through GitHub, see the README for features/installation instructions/etc for this release.

Enjoy!
