1.8.0-b

This is a fix version of the 1.8.0 image, to resolve issues connecting to plex servers due to LetsEncrypt root certificate expiry.

It is identical to the previous release, except the certificate authorities have been updated to remove the expired DST Root CA X3 certificate. This was accomplished by extracting the existing images, updating the certificate file, an repacking the image. An earlier version of this release had issues with SSH login, this due to an issue with the repacking process, the images have been fixed and repacked properly.

See #645 for more details, including steps to workaround the issue without re-flashing the image.

Testing for 1.8.0 on Rpi 3 b+

Pre-release, known to be unstable

You may see the lightning icon appear numerous times during operation.

Sometimes, when the lightning icon appears, the system may crash and reboot. This is a known issue, and should be fixed soon.

It appears the crashes are associated with surges in network activity. To reduce the stress while browsing the menu, it is recommended to run the "pre-caching" feature to cache the library. This should make the system more stable as a work-around.
