Hi,

Here are WIP release notes for upcoming moOde 8.2.5 (Q1 2023).

The focus for this release is to fix the remaining leftover bugs from the refactoring effort but also to add some nice UI improvements. We are also testing an enhancement to the in-place updater that would provide kernel and boot loader upgrades.

In place kernel updates?

Yes kernel and bootloader thanks to @bitlab  :-)

does this mean that I can do an update directly from the PI, and it will take care of updating both the kernel and the boot-loader too?
If so, amazing.
