Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:
General | All future DietPi images (v6.8 and onwards), now has serial console enabled by default for the 1st run setup. It will be disabled automatically after first run setup to save on resources, unless ‘CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE_ENABLE=1’ is set in dietpi.txt: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1759
General | DietPi.com website: Server has been upgraded to Debian Stretch, featuring HTTPS redirect.
General | FBset is no longer a pre-req package for DietPi systems. This will be removed on fresh installations (not existing, to avoid any package conflicts): https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1716
General | DietPi login script and globals init moved to /etc/profile.d/99-dietpi-login.sh. Ensuring any user on system with sudo permissions can load them. Global commands are also now supported across multiple users, eg: either ‘sudo -i G_AGI pacakge’ or ‘G_SUDO G_AGI package’: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1477
General | G_WHIP*: Improved scaling detection based on character count and line count. We now also calculate character count per line, to determine if additional lines are required against X. In other words, it should be a more ‘snug’ fit https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1740
DietPi-Automation | ‘AUTO_SETUP_RAMLOG_MAXSIZE’ added to dietpi.txt. Sets max /var/log tmpfs size during 1st run. Requires v6.8 or higher image.
