Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[agent_kith]

OK. Hit a roadblock while trying to get the latest release of MPD working. MPD 0.21.x now requires a whole new development platform - this means 16.04 LTS can no longer cut it and Snakeoil has to move to 18.04 LTS.

There are obviously ways to work around this, but due to the rapid pace of software development, we need to provide a means for the users to easily migrate, So the focus of Gear Isolation is now going to do that. Plus some new additions I'm planning for.

As I'm still running this website entirely on user donations, budget is an on-going issue and I am forever trying ways to minimise the space I'm gonna use. So the way forward will be so:
 

new features designed for 1.2.0 will be available as activated features in 1.1.x.

This change makes it easy to maintain the codebase - meaning I only have to work on one branch instead of two, and that means I've only be releasing one set of firmware (instead of 2). A new ISO for 1.1.x will also be released based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and hopefully that will address the UEFI issues some of you are experiencing.

So, let's get on with business. What new features do you want to see in 1.2.x? Please post here and I'd start building a list.
