Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) 6.5 (GitHub, download) appeared on an experimental/rolling basis (master branch) for DIY contributors the day IIAB 6.4 was released on October 5th, 2017. It's likely to be released as an evolutionary point-release around late October or early November 2017.
IIAB 6.5 DRAFT Release Notes will later emerge here: https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-6.5-Release-Notes
Road Map as proposed during our October 9th & 12th, 2017 calls:
- Mon Oct 5/9 - IIAB 6.5 cycle begins
- Mon Oct 30 - Feature Freeze
- Thu Nov 9 - Code Freeze
- Mon Nov 20 - Release
- Thu Nov 23 - US Thanksgiving (4+ day long wkd begins, allowing many to try our work?!)
Implementing "Captive Portal" functionality (for those who can't easily type URL's in a Latin script etc, similar to WiFi pages that appear when you connect in airports/hotels/restaurants) has proved very challenging. We could use assistance in this ongoing effort to get it right!
SOME OTHER PROPOSED FEATURES ARE LISTED IN THE JANUARY 17, 2017 MEETING MINUTES @ http://tinyurl.com/xsceminutes (and under March 16, 2017 @ http://minutes.iiab.io)
