Title: Major Updates To Jessie Raspbian
Post by Fernando on May 13^th, 2016, 11:45am

To address many concerns and issues with R-Pi3 Users, Jessie had just been updated with major system and applications software.

First - Improved Wifi and Added BlueTooth software, so users do not have to patch in a third party drivers. This includes BlueTooth Audio as well...

Second - Easier access to the GPIO in other languages like C.

Third - Improved Desktop Utilities

Fourth - Updates to the installed applications like Open Libre Office Suite.

Fifth - more utilities like SD Card Cloner, which allows you to make seamless clone backups of your SD Cards as needed. It's intelligent so you can clone a large SD Card to a smaller one if there is enough space to copy all the files to it.

You can use the Terminal to do the upgrade and install the new software:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install piclone geany usb-modeswitch

Or you can upload the new Jessie from Raspberry Pi.org Raspbian OS download link:

Details of the update is on the Raspberry Pi

Note: Jessie Minimal will only have the BlueTooth utilities as the other features are to the GUI, which Jesie Minimal does not have. These updates will fix other issues for all the R-Pi's as well, besides the R-Pi3.
