Upgrade instructions

If you have a system running 2.1 through 2.4, you can go to the FPP about page (about.php) and click on the "Manual Update" button. At that point, a big green "Upgrade" bar should appear. You will get all the improvements above except those marked with the "requires re-imaging" notes on the release note for all the versions is upgrading through. Note: there are a LOT of changes in this release. The "Upgrade" button may take several minutes.

Images will be made available in a few days. Using the 2.4 image and doing the updates is the best option at this point.
