Release v1.4.1
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:

Changes in this release (see main project page for further details):
-
Upgraded the bundled
chromium
web browser, towww-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
andrpi3-i2cdev
core dependencies ofrpi3-64bit-meta
, so they are always installed, and also modified therpi3-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 thepyconfig_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).
