    • udoo-web-conf has been updated: upon your requests is now possible to
      • change time zone and save the change through a graphical editor – no command line needed
      • change your passwords and save the change through a graphical editor – no command line needed
      • disable the Arduino, using thefore all the hardware under Linux (e.g. ADC)
      • configure your screen setup from an external PC connected to UDOO
    • Kernel with a new MCC (improved virtual serial)
    • external GPIOs files are automatically exported at boot in the folder /gpio
    • sensors (motion sensors and bricks) files are automatically exported at boot in the folder /sensors
    • VNC server switched to X11vnc. It supports copy/paste and it is less eager for Ram
    • Bugfix and performance improved

    Thank you Udoo guys, big steps in the right direction!

    I agree Waltervl there are some nice improvements. The X11vnc has become my favourite way to work on the UdooNeo. Both desktops on one Monitor (Development Computer and UdooNeo) and being able to copy and paste between the two has really made it a joy to work. Can't tell you how many times before this that I tried to copy and paste and it didn't work. I new it didn't work before but kept trying out of habit. Now it's a cheap thrill to be able to do it.

    Hi, what's the difference between RC2 and RC2 Minimal?

    Thank you, but I have not sufficient knowledge to fully understand it; can you tell me which would be the pros and cons of using RC2 Minimal vs RC2? More free space in the microsd? And what are the features I will miss?

    There is no desktop environment and applications on the minimal image. So yes, it provides better performance (less services and RAM used), but it is unsuitable for non-expert users (there is only command line interface).
