Changes overview:

General:

• Ubuntu Xenial was replaced with Bionic unless kernel was too old for the change,
• Debian Jessie becomes EOL and its building is not maintained anymore while you will still receive kernel updates,
• Emergency swap file creation is disabled by default since we use compressed memory (ZRAM) as an alternative,
• vm.swappiness has been changed from 0 to 100 (if you run databases on your board you might want to revert this change in /etc/sysctl.conf),
• RAM logging also uses ZRAM now and rotates logs automagically,
• all images were rebuilt, except boards for which support ended,
• significantly lighter - browser only - desktop images (< 1.5G),
• fixed hanging on headers installation,
• install boot script (BSP package) if not present. This fixes upgrade or kernel switching problems,
• Proper bind mount directory when installing to SATA/USB and booting from SD,
• update for wireless drivers 8812/11/14AU, 8188EU and AUFS,
• Bugfix when a temperature is not present or readings are invalid,
• Also showing bridge IP addresses in MOTD,
