This is an optional bug fix release that contains a few fixes for issues encountered by users.

Enhancements:

  • Support for various "outdoor" panels types for Pi Matrix Hat's
  • Allow Pi Matrix GPIO slowdown to be up to 5 for Pi4
  • Scripts to allow "in place" OS upgrades (coming soon)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fix issues with status UI if one playlist is started while one is already running
  • Fix some issues with JSON backups
  • Fix problems with restores from some PATHs
  • Fix github detection during update

Upgrade Instructions:

If running a 3.6 version already, normally, hitting the "Manual Upgrade" button on the about page should work and we do encourage folks to try this first. However, github has rolled out some changes to their infrastructure which is interfering with the upgrade process in most cases. If the manual upgrade button fails to upgrade, then you will need to FIRST login to the command line via ssh to run some commands. There is an SSH client built into FPP on the Help menu. Username is fpp, password is falcon . Once logged in, run "cd /opt/fpp" then run "sudo git pull". Then exit. Go back to the about page and click the "Manual Update" button again (even though it will say no update available). That should get everything updated.

For older versions, it's recommended to grab the 3.6.2 image from the bottom of https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases/tag/3.6.2 , install that.
