This is a minor, bugfix release to v1.4.0. If you are already on v1.4.0, you can upgrade simply by running genup (or wait for the automated weekly update to do this for you).

Users on releases earlier than v1.4.0 should follow the manual upgrade instructions to 1.4.0 below; the final step genup therein will actually bring you to v1.4.1 now.

You can easily check your current version at any time, by issuing:

demouser@pi64 ~ $ eix rpi3-64bit-meta

Changes in this release (see main project page for further details):

  • Upgraded the bundled chromium web browser, to www-client/chromium-72.0.3626.121-r1; this version fixes the serious CVE-2019-5786 bug (thanks to cjan for pointing this out), and also a problem that was preventing videos playing correctly on YouTube.

  • Made the boot-time services rpi3-spidev and rpi3-i2cdev core dependencies of rpi3-64bit-meta, so they are always installed, and also modified the rpi3-i2cdev service, so it only loads the relevant kernel module if I2C is turned on in /boot/config.txt. Fixes an issue where turning I2C on in the pyconfig_gen application was not sufficient to have it enabled after reboot. Thanks to procount for reporting.

  • Various minor ebuild tidy-ups.

  • All packages brought up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 19 February 2019 (with the exception of chromium, which has been backported to address a serious security concern; as noted above).
