moOde 5.3 status

[Tim Curtis]

Hi,

Just a quick status update on moOde 5.3.

The coding for 5.3 has been finished for a while but the dev team is waiting for one particular 4.19.y kernel bug report to be analyzed to determine why hostapd crashes with particular WiFi adapters. The crash doesn't occur with previous 4.14.98 kernel which suggests a regression in 4.19.y. The bug report contains a full crash dump so there is an excellent chance the kernel devs will be able to debug it.

Here are the tentative release notes for 5.3. It contains a really cool preamp mode for Audiophonics 9028/9038 DAC and HiFiberry DAC+ADC, Disconnect buttons on the Renderer Active screens plus some nice updates and important bug fixes.
