2.7.1

Updates:

  • Detect the new Raspberry Pi 3A+ and provide a logo for it
  • Detect "Unknown" capes as "Unknown" instead of "Unsupported"

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix bug where older plugins were being installed into the wrong directory and thus not working.
  • Troubleshooting page was unable to provide details on I2C bus on BeagleBone's
  • Fix problem in the 2.7 Pi image where omxplayer was not fully installed or working thus preventing mp4 videos from playing. Fixing this does require using the new 2.7.1 image for the Pi.
