Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00

[sbp]

EDIT:
21 august. If you have used pCP3.00 before this date, please start from fresh again with a new download of pCP3.00.

We had some nasty bugs which are fixed:

• hifiberry DACs are now working
• Buffer settings are now working
• User commands are now working

Unfortunately, we have problems doing insitu updates from previous versions to the current pCP3.00. So please download pCP3.00 image and burn to your SD-card.
To keep your current settings:

• Using your current version of pCP save your config to a USB-flash drive (from the main web-page use "save to USB").
• Keep the USB-flash drive attached
• Boot your pCP3.00 - and it will use your current settings in pCP3.00.

************************************************** ************************
Original announcement.

Finally, a new piCorePlayer version is ready. piCorePlayer3.00.

A little background for eventual new users of piCorePlayer (pCP).
pCP has slowly evolved from a pure squeezelite player into a more complete system which now also can be used as a logitech media server (LMS) or as a combined LMS server and player.
If you add a official Raspberry touch screen and enable Jivelite you will essentially have a Squeezebox Touch player

Changelog:

• Kernel updated to 4.4.15
• Using Openssh instead of dropbear as ssh server.
• Added infra-red (IR) remote control of Jivelite (LIRC support fro the "Tweaks page").
• Numerous bug-fixes.
• Improved appearance.
• Added option to wake on Lan (WOL) of LMS server to tweaks page.
• Support for new I2S DACs
• Lots of internal improvements.

The fresh image should be fine, it's was a problem with the insitu updates. Changing from dropbear to openssh was leaving remnants.

I told you along time ago it would not be in 3.00. I have it working, but the web page development has not been started and is quite significant to deal with the configuration.

Okay. Thank you.
