IIAB 6.3 became available on an experimental/rolling basis (master branch) for DIY 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 some 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 &mdashl 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 yes Captive Portal might not make the cut!

SOME PROPOSED FEATURES ARE LISTED IN THE JANUARY 17, 2017 MEETING MINUTES @ http://tinyurl.com/xsceminutes (and under March 16, 2017 @ http://tinyurl.com/iiabminutes)

Please join our weekly "Thursday" calls to help push this forward -- educators and contributors of all kind are welcome:

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 (helping with testing ideally!) then give this a shot on Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3:

curl http://download.iiab.io/6.3/rpi/load-master.txt | sudo bash

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

Our new repos (software code) emerged powerfully in late May 2017 here: http://github.com/iiab
