(03/07/18)

Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:

General | ASUS TB: GLES GPU and VPU support now enabled, once Xserver is installed.

General | ‘firmware-iwlwifi’: Is now a pre-req to WiFi enable. Adds support for Intel based WiFi chips by default: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1855

General | “net-tools” commands (ifconfig, netstat, route, …) were replaced by modern “ip” commands (ip a, ip r, …) within DietPi scripts and the package therefore removed from DietPi core packages: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1666

General | Removed unused “/DietPi/config.txt” from non-RPi devices: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/pull/1863

General | CurlFTPFS: Removed from DietPi scripts and is no longer supported. Due to lack of security, and, single digit install count (survey).

General | Timesync: DietPi will now only check for a sucessful sync once per system boot, and, again hourly/daily if set. This is to prevent excess delay of systemd-timesyncd service, once the time has already been synced.

General | Sparky SBC: Designs patch added for DSD on MPD-5 dac , new Ids added Mytek Manhatten , LH labs 1V5 2V0 ,HD-AVP/AVA IDA-8: https://github.com/sparky-sbc/sparky-test/tree/master/dsd-marantz

DietPi-Drive_Manager | Rewrite and improvements:

DietPi-Globals | G_BACKUP: Added to globals. This will be gradually rolled out in DietPi scripts, allowing the user to create a system backup, prior to significant system changes: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1871#issuecomment-400443401
