As far as network improvementsgo, there has been a fix made to
allow static IP assignments tocoexist with wireless networks,

There's been some fixes tomover and some fixes related to
hard links, which, if you didn'tknow, space invader 1 is very
against hard links, so make sureyou go over his channel and
comment all over all his videosasking them why he hates hard
links.
He would very much appreciatethat.
And then, of course, there'salso web UI improvements to the

(01:45):
do menus, file manager and othergraphical settings as well.
There are two new videos on theUncast Show channel that you

public API, redesigned UI,native backup, security and
upgrades and a whole bunch moretopics.
So definitely check that videoout.
