LibraryBox v2.1 Public Beta imminent

[Jason Griffey]

Hello everyone!

Just a note to let everyone know that I am just about to launch the public beta of the v2.1 code for LibraryBox. Here's the announcement page text, before it goes live on the web later today. 

****

The v2.1 release of the LibraryBox code brings with it several important updates:

• CSS styled directory listings that are fully responsive
• The addition of the Mozilla l10n translation engine that allows for multi-language support for the LibraryBox interface. In the initial v2.1 release, we have 10 languages supported:
  • German
  • English
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Croatian
  • Swedish
  • Italian
  • Korean
  • Norwegian
  • Kiswahili
  If you would like to add a language, please let us know.
• LibraryBox now has a built in miniDLNA server for media playback on DLNA clients
• There is now an automated updater built-in to LibraryBox that will allow for future updates to be a matter of copying a file onto the USB key and rebooting...no SSH necessary.
• Even more hardware choices that you can use to build your own.

This release is currently a Public Beta, which means that there may still be issues unresolved in the code as is. Do not use Beta code releases for mission-critical hardware. If you choose to update your existing LibraryBox to this Public Beta release be aware that while we have tested extensively, it is possible that an issue during the upgrade could render your hardware difficult or impossible to recover.

Fingers crossed everyone, this is overdue, but worth the wait. :-)
