IIAB 6.3 became available as a testing (master) branch for DIY (leading-edge contributors) in late May 2017, after many of us met for at a great March event (http://socallinuxexpo.org) in the Los Angeles area, and further developed certain near-universal field requirements in Oaxaca, Mexico during late April, 2017.

Whereas IIAB/XSCE 6.2 from April 19, 2017 was intended to bring XSCE 6.1 from Fedora/CentOS to Raspbian/Debian -- we are very excited to build off Raspberry Pi's organic community energy around the globe now -- with popular demand driving ease-of-use / ease-of-content-maintenance improvements of many kind, even if Captive Portal might not make the cut!

WANT TO GIVE IT A SPIN?

If you want the very latest (master branch of Internet-in-a-Box) on Raspbian, and are happy to face pre-release issues (help with testing ideally!) then give this a shot on Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3:

Write to bugs @ iiab.io if you find bugs, Thanks!!

The past stable release of IIAB/XSCE (currently 6.2, from April 19, 2017 but including a few critical fixes since then) should always be available at: https://github.com/xsce/xsce/releases/latest
