10 December 2017
Image Modifications:
VMWare | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219
VirtualBox | Updated to Debian Stretch, many thanks @MichaIng: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219
RPi | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475
Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:
General | Odroid XU3/4 images updated: Includes kernel support for EMMC 5.1 (thanks Meveric):
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1252
General | DietPi RPi kernel: Updated to 4.9.62.
General | DietPi RPi kernel: Will no longer re-install, if the current version is already at latest.
General | Added fahrenheit readouts for cpu_info and dietpi-config. For those “over the pond” 
:
General | Sparky SBC: Kernel update to add support for USB 1.1 DACs, thanks @sudeep. This must be enabled manually,
if using a USB 1.1 DAC, as this breaks Allo WiFi dongle. Edit “/DietPi/uEnv.txt” and change the value “aotg.aotg1_speed=1”
(from “0”), then reboot.
General | We now define a default LD_LIBRARY_PATH for all systems, exported from /etc/bash.bashrc:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475#issuecomment-350380744
DietPi-Services | Run “dietpi-services help” to see a full list of updated commands: Added support for “enable” and “disable”.
“disable” will stop and disable the service and prevent it from running, “enable” will enable and start the service. EG: “dietpi-services
disable cron”, will prevent Cron from starting. Added support for start/stop/restart a single service (eg: dietpi-services stop apache2).
This is basically a symlink to systemD: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1114
DietPi-Config | WiFi: Now uses the wpa_supplicant.conf method to setup WiFi connections. WEP is no longer supported by DietPi in
this mode. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and OPEN hosts supported: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1262
DietPi-Backup | “Full Backup” Mode is now the default for fresh DietPi installations. This is mainly due to MySQL data now being
in the DietPi userdata directory.
DietPi-Config | Tools > Benchmarks: Added ability to benchmark CPU performance based on bash + integer:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1253#issuecomment-346881878
