v0.1.4 (Cryo Treatment)
#1
Official release of firmware 0.1.4 (Codename: Cryo Treatment).  Introducing the first 64 bit firmware!

Due to missing libraries, 32 bit firmware will not work on 64 bit Snakeoil machine, and vice versa.

Please make sure you download the right version for your installation. Go to the Home tab to find the correct architecture to download: i686 or x86_64.

Download:
.fw   snakeoil-0.1.4-i686.fw (Size: 18.35 MB / Downloads: 7)
.fw   snakeoil-0.1.4-x86_64.fw (Size: 18.74 MB / Downloads: 16)

Changes since 0.1.3 (Cable Lifter)

  • Check for problems when performing firmware upgrade, and print out errors
  • Added sanity checks to not allow installation of firmware with different architecture

  • Fixed bug where kernel boot option is not read properly [Found by JD1]
