The changes since last post include: 

- UPD: Improve WiFi section in startup (faster AP mode activation)
- UPD: Update Chip Options help for Piano 2.1 DAC Stereo mode
- FIX: Error not logged when source mount fails
- FIX: Wrong PSK used in saved SSID's

There is also an updated Security section in the Setup Guide. Please read it carefully to understand whats required to setup the pi userid and password, WiFi SSID and password and Access Point password.

SECURITY

The ISO image does not contain the userid pi, SSH service, WiFi SSID or Access
Point password.

- The pi userid/password and WiFi SSID/password can can be created using the
  official Raspberry Pi Imager. Refer to the link below for information on
  operating system security and how to use the Raspberry Pi Imager.
  https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspber...pril-2022/

- The Access Point password can be entered via the WebUI, Network Config screen
  after the system starts or via an edited /boot/moodecfg.ini file. The file is
  described in this document in the CUSTOM CONFIGURATION section.

To access the operating system command console use Secure Shell (SSH). An easy
to use WebSSH terminal is available in System Config.
