XSCE/IIAB 6.2 will most likely arrive in late-February 2017.
We began working around a regular 6-month release cycle starting with XSCE 6.0 (released March 27, 2016) leading up to XSCE 6.1 (released September 22, 2016).
Likely focuses for XSCE/IIAB 6.2 (code if here) will be:
- Strong Raspberry Pi 3 support, including the Raspian Pixel OS's (and their recent security updates).
- Strong support for teachers/librarians who want ad hoc USB stick/drive materials to appear instantly at http://box/usb
- Captive Portal implementation, so most users don't need to type in any URL at all (e.g. http://box.lan, http://school.lan, http://schoolserver.lan). LIKELY DEFERRED TO IIAB 6.3!
