DietPi v6.3
07 March 2018
Image Changes:
Native PC BIOS | Image now available: https://dietpi.com/#download
NanoPi Neo | Image now available (based on FriendlyARM official image): https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/1588
Changes / Improvements / Optimisation:
General | DietPi now uses its own “dietpi-postboot.service” to initiate dietpi-services, instead of /etc/rc.local. The latter will be reset on
update, but in case of manual adjustments, a backup is safed to dietpi_userdata. The initiating “rc-local.service” will stay in place as well,
so /etc/rc.local can be used as before: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1376
General | Additional getty’s (2-6) are now disabled via mask. This reduces resource usage for unneeded screens:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1541
General | APT: ‘Disabled install recommends’ is now standard and default across all DietPi images:

General | Sparky SBC kernel patches: Pro-Ject-S2 dac DSD native support on sparky, also other few dac ids. Thanks @sudeep.
General | /tmp tmpfs size is now automatically set to 50% of RAM+SWAP, (previously 50% RAM only). To prevent out of memory errors during
certain software installations (eg: Mono), where the swapfile can be used only when needed:
