Working on new Snakeoil release - 1.3.x (Codename Measurements)

[agent_kith]

RPi 5 was a complete surprise, arriving this early. 

I appear to have missed the first batch, but I am in the second. Arrival is supposed to be November/December, with the nasty two-tone case   I ordered one RPi 5 because I don't really need a second, and the rumoured 16GB version would be very useful for non-audio projects. 

Can always use the extra DDR4X RAM as cache for music playback.

On notification list, can back-order from Mouser but that will incur a USD$40 shipping fee so decided against that.

Just have to wait.

I read that Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm is due mid-October, but I thought you were moving to Ubuntu for Measurements. 

Ubuntu only for the 64 bit environment. Realistically one can install Snakeoil on both Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu because they are all Debian based systems. And with enough knowhow, even run 32 bit armv7 on aarch64. But let's forget I ever said that .

The PCI-e connection is a great carrot, for sure.

That, and the new south bridge un-blocking the USBs. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't need the Pi 5 here for others to try. Hope to have an early Measurements build sooner rather than later.

Unfortunately hit some sort of snag as somehow the build environment robot isn't talking to gitlab. Spent a few hours this Saturday morning on day job work so will look into fixing that soon. Good news is sometime next week (Monday US time) I will have a new guy joining me, when that happens hopefully I can step back and in turn will ensure I don't drain my energy by the end of the day. And that will mean more time for Snakeoil! To be honest I think I spent at most 4 hours listening to my Hifi in the past year. That has to change.
