Major Updates To Jessie Raspbian
May 13th, 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.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out
