[PROBLEM] What does Bluetooth do on Moode?

[foxwelljsly]

What version of moode are you using?

Hi Tim, 8.3.9

System software update says software is up to date.

thanks

8.3.9 2024-02-23

8.3.9 is a few revisions ago now.  The check for upgrade feature does not work over a major boundary, so since we are on the 9 series now you won't see updates.
I suggest getting the latest version by creating a new image from the Pi Imager tool.  Be sure to follow the setup guide so you set a user for the system in the imager.  Perhaps just building afresh will sort your issue out, but if not you'll be on the same version as us so trouble shooting may be simpler.

It's not really a bug but the question about major version updates does come up from time to time.

The reason we don't build in-place updates for a major version change is because thats when PiOS itself changes to the next major version for example Bullseye to Bookworm. Even the OS supplier, Raspberry Pi Ltd recommends a fresh install at major version update because of the large number of underlying changes in the OS.

I could improve the "Software is up to date" message to something like below which would be more informative without being too wordy. For example:

"moOde 8 series software is up to date"

What do you think?

Hi Tim,

Cheers, thanks for explaining. Now I understand I'll keep a closer eyer on it. Given the explaination and constraints, I doubt any mitigation/fix would have made me behave differently.

cheers, though
