Dear mates,
here we are to announce some good Friday news.

UDOObuntu 2 for NEO FULL & EXTENDED

First of all: UDOObuntu 2 Beta 5 for UDOO NEO FULL & EXTENDED is out.
You can obviously find it in the downloads – we tweaked this page a bit, you noticed?
Anyway, what’s new?

• Bluetooth service starts earlier to avoid possible device attach timeouts. Still some stuff needs to be implemented or improved;
• UDOObuntu 2 no longer makes you preinstall a lot of rarely used packages (e.g. printer and scanner support), leading to fewer background processes to save CPU and RAM. You can still reinstall such packages from Software Center if you like;
• if there’s no Internet connection, default system date is 2015-01-01 instead of 1970-01-01. This allows to access captive portals requiring HTTPS;
• Desktop files permissions fixed;
• the first boot is faster since SSH keys are regenerated in background;
• The Web Control Panel‘s been updated;
• some core packages (e.g. X11, pcmanfm) has been rebuilt to optimize and reduce RAM usage.
