Bump version?

chippettone

Hi guys, I wanted to know if there is news of the next version jump since we stopped at 4.4.2 in a couple of months. The improvements in the changelog are many, but if you do not do the bump version coma do you implement them without compiling? I was waiting for the change version for a clean installation on raspberry and pc. Do you know anything about the next bump version? Thank you.

@chippettone I am currently rebuilding all binaries and was waiting to complete that before updating version.

Thanks, in retropie 4.4 i have encounter some problem in joy configuration and ps2 installation on pc x64 with linux Mint. I'll wait for a next bump version. Thanks for help and good work.

@BuZz can you add rfkill package in standard install please?

@cyperghost Isn't rfkill already part of the standard distro ?

cyperghost

@mitu afaik .... No
But it would be very usefull to disable BT and/or WIFI on the fly.

@cyperghost Raspbian already includes rfkill and it is in the RetroPie standard image. I think any recent Linux distro includes it as part of the wireless management programs. Do you have another distro in mind ?

cyperghost

@mitu But Raspian light and therefore RetroPie? I had to install it recently on two mashines, my old jessie-build and a newer stretch one, so I doubt it's installed by default. (EDIT: I tinker a lot with XU4 platform..... and tried lot's of images...)
But let Buzz answer ... maybe I'm wrong again and then everything is fine.
But you know: two wrongs don't make a right ;)

EDIT: Okay it's included into 4.4
Sorry!

@cyperghost said in Bump version?:

It's also in 4.3. It's part of the OS.

@mitu off... then you see how long I did not update my builds. I'm stuck on RP 4.3 but I think it was build from a 4.0 or 4.1 image. I've tried tons of different images the last days... I lost track ;) But I come to the conclusion that RetroPie + Raspberry is the most solid (SBC) platform.
The XU4 Odroids also make lot's of fun but lack a bit of support so the ORA-build is imho the best thing you can get for this.

#!/bin/sh
wlanstat=$(rfkill list wlan | grep -c ": no")
if [ $wlanstat -lt 2 ]; then
    echo "I will activate/unblock wifi adapters"
    sleep 5
    sudo rfkill unblock wifi
else
   echo "I will deavtivate/block wifi adapters"
   sleep 5
   sudo rfkill block wifi
