We are releasing RPi Stretch image under Beta:
We are looking for users to assist us with tracking possible bugs/issues with the Stretch distro. Please report any issues in this thread.
Stretch benefits from more recent programs, such as:
PHP 7.0
More up to date versions of software (eg: desktops)
Generally speaking, a more updated and recent OS, compared to Jessie.
Why now?
To prep DietPi and its sourecode for Stretch’s arrival, and, to offer our users more up to date software installations.

PiVPN:
installer works, you get a warning message, but it’s okay:
With apt-get upgrade come as well a new kernel, new Firmware, new RPi bootloader and overlays update with some new overlays.
Could be good, you have a look on it. (eg. enc28j60-spi2.dtbo, i2c-rtc.dtbo, i2c-sensor.dtbo, pisound.dtbo)

greets luzi
p.s. if u have a c2 or xu4 Image so i can try this also.
Can i install the stretch img to xu4?
I have burned the emmc sa i do all the times but when i boot nothing appears on screen.And there is no booini file to change from hdmi to vdi as i do at the jessy img.How can i fix this?
Thank you.
I just wanted to say that I have installed at the Rp3 with https and owncloud server and it is so so good working.It is amazing that the operation system software can make such a big deferred with the same hardware.Later at night I will try to my fist Rp1 512 ram.
Trying this on Rpi3 - mostly OK so far - Syncthing, Webmin, PhpMyAdmin, NoIP, LLMP, NextCLoud -but no wifi - is support for this likely to be far away?
Getting there testing the wifi but am I right in thinking that this release blocks SSH connections unless you put a file on the boot partition called “ssh”?

Edit - WiFi good and added the PiCam software - working fine also.
The wifi stopped working I am afraid - I wasn’t doing much with this device so didn’t notice. I can set it up, it appears to be connected, but on reboot - the wifi connection is not active. Upgraded to v143 - just the same.
Did as suggested - no luck. Running dietpi-config and connecting wifi it looks as if it is connected. Reboot, it isn’t. Did this several times same result.
. I’ll take a look at the new .dtb.
