1.4.1-Alpha-1 (High-End U1)

[agent_kith]

Introduction
So Microsoft has stopped development on cpprestsdk. This is the library Snakeoil API is based on. So this is an update to remove cpprestsdk and moved onto something else. Initially the idea is to go with either GoLang or Rust. However, decided to go with C++ yet again but with Qt. 

Unsure if that's a stroke of genius or a super bad idea - but there's no going back for now. Hopefully this is a right move ahead. I am not sure if this will bring about any audio benefits, but as said, no going back for now. I hope the code is more "preempt-able", but if it's not hopefullly we can tweak it after.

What's not mentioned is the process priority and cpuset are handled in a better manner now (hopefully).

Hopefully no major issues, but please report if there are. From tomorrow I will focus more on the apt repository, and see if I can add some new options in the WebApp to control it. And also to focus on a single solution for blogs/manual. After that, maybe I should start and look for a job.....

WOW!! 
NICE WORK!!!

The kernel options are not switched (amd64).

Thanks, AK!

The kernel options are not switched (amd64).

Do you mean the code to switch kernel for Intel/amd isn't working? It was working when I was doing the re-write. I'll double check that again later this week to confirm.

In the "Current Boot Kernel" tab, the "Kernel Options" parameter is "none", the "Clocksource" parameter is "hpet". When the parameters are changed, after a reboot, they return to their original state.

Thank you very much! The sound quality has improved significantly again, even with the default kernel settings.

Tested on Pi5, installed over 1.4, also installed from fresh

• Cyclictest now works
  
• Reboot button does not work
  
• RT kernel switching not working, tried twice, resulting in having to redo SO each time. It does not complete its boot process, hanging at starting at SSH (does not make sense??).  Suggest adding auto reboot when switching kernels in SO.
  
• minor bug of network display showing 2 network ports: wlan DHCP enabled, Eth0 nothing.  Should display one or the other
  
• Dashboard Network tab still saying coming
  
• Install of software takes a few seconds before it displays something; used to be quick
  

Please note that I am away next 3 weeks, so unable to do further alpha testing. Hopefully, someone else can take step in.

this forum is so slow now, is it being attacked?

FYI, I found the Process Priority function can't control an irq, of course that used to work in past.  Would you pls. check the attached screen cap?  Thanks a lot.
