This project does NOT follow semantic versioning. The version increases as follows:

  1. Major version updates are breaking updates to the build infrastructure. These should be very rare.
  2. Minor version updates are made for every major Buildroot release. This may also include Erlang/OTP and Linux kernel updates. These are made four times a year shortly after the Buildroot releases.
  3. Patch version updates are made for Buildroot minor releases, Erlang/OTP releases, and Linux kernel updates. They're also made to fix bugs and add features to the build infrastructure.

v2.0.0

This is a major update of kiosk_system_rpi4 that changes the MicroSD/eMMC layout in order to support automatic rollback of non-working firmware updates.

IMPORTANT This is a one way upgrade. Going back to the old partitioning requires manually reflashing of the RPi's storage.

Previous releases assumed that firmware updates worked. This one requires that firmware images mark themselves as good using Nerves.Runtime.validate_firmware/0. See Nerves.Runtime for more information on this. Firmware not marked as good reverts back to the previous version.

Note: The double version number bump aligns the major version with other Raspberry Pi systems.
