- A new taskbar icon and user interface for connecting Bluetooth devices.
- Support from Bluetooth audio (with some caveats).
- An SD card copier utility.
- The inclusion of the pigpio library.
- The inclusion of the Geany IDE/editor.
- A kernel upgrade to 4.4.
- A new shutdown/reboot dialog box.
- Automatic expansion of the filesystem on first boot.
- Automatic installation of wpa_supplicant.conf (wi-fi connection settings) on boot.
The update is available via the Downloads page. If you’re running the latest version of Jessie, type the following into a terminal to install the updates:
