Full translations of the interface in Danish, Dutch, French, German and Norwegian Bokmål, and partial Telugu. - Support for OLinuXino A20 MICRO and LIME2 - New Plinth applications: OpenVPN, reStore (currently disabled in Plinth config, until Debian package is uploaded) - Improved first-boot experience - Many bugfixes and cleanups
Known Bugs:
When Transmission page is accessed after install, it will show "403: Forbidden". Here is a workaround for this issue:
Log into your FreedomBox using the console or SSH.
Edit the Transmission configuration: $ sudo vi /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json Change "rpc-whitelist-enabled" to false. Save and quit.
Reload the Transmission server. $ sudo invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload Important: Make sure you reload instead of restart* the service. Otherwise your changes to the configuration will get overwritten.
Access the Transmission page at https://freedombox.local/transmission or similar.
