Hi Everyone,

Just a small update to the Desktop and Lite (DGTPi) images. On the Desktop I updated to the latest v4 code and disabled a service (winbindd) that was only needed when samba was enabled. The 'v4 Desktop Readme.txt' was updated accordingly.

The Lite image (using the DietPi OS) just has the latest v4 code.

The links are the same:

I have added the missing Tiny Gyal network to my images (use the same links). Remember, it is good practice to run the PicoChess updater twice in case there are changes to the updater script itself - just be sure to wait a minimum of 3 minutes between runs. Since the Desktop image is using Wayland, to get the window switching functionality that was present when using X11, either switch to X11 using raspi-config or run the install-ydotool.sh script as root (sudo) which will install it from the debian backports repository.
