Hey guys,
Today we are releasing Freespire 7.0.1 which is incremental, but has some important OS fixes released out of necessity since the initial build. You can perform an inplace upgrade or download an entirely new ISO - the choice is yours.
Some of the patches implemented :
FIXED: network reconnecting / disconnecting, due to a bug in Network Manager. Has been corrected and connections now seem stable. This was a frequent concern with users.
FIXED: Echo in sound system - if you were connected to Zoom or Teams you would get a reverb after you shut down the media source
FIXED USB-C charging - if you had a USB type-C notebook or system, charging would not work. This was an upstream hardware issue corrected by kernel 5.4.0-53.
FIXED: Installer crashes when trying to install on the JFS or XFS filesystem - this occurred because the proper tools for those filesystems were not included in the initial distribution.
FIXED: Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons were hard to see - nuff said
FIXED: Display would not go above 1280 even if video chipset / card supported higher resolutions - another upstream kernel issue corrected by 5.4.0-53.
The following updates are available:
Firefox ESR 78.5
Kernel 5.4.0-53
Thunderbird 68.12
Several other internal updates are also included.
