Announcements
For old announcements, please see the NeTV announcement archive.

October 3: Major release pushed, Current latest is 12. Update should be automatic. Please see NeTV release 12 notes. October 4: Minor release pushed, current latest is 14. Minor bug fixed in control panel, but the primary reason for push is to upgrade factory test infrastructure in the image. October 20: Major release pushed, Current latest is 19. Update should be semi-automatic, it will trigger automatically but you will probably have to reboot it manually. Update takes around 15 minutes to apply, it's a big one. Please see NeTV release 19 notes. October 27: Minor release pushed, current latest is 20. Please see NeTV release 20 notes. October 28: Minor release pushed, current latest is 21. Please see NeTV release 21 notes. November 15: Heads up, a new major release is on the way that will break any mods. We are migrating docroot to a git-managed copy on the device so control panel updates are transparent every time the device is rebooted. If you are developing a custom app, please see NeTV tricks for ways to set an alternate docroot. November 17: Major release pushed, current latest is 22. Please see NeTV release 22 notes. Major internal structural changes to the UI subsystem. November 18: Minor release pushed, current latest is 25. Fixed issue with /psp/homepage to allow files to be specified and not just URLs.
 * Note: you may have to manually power cycle your device at the conclusion of the update.
 * Note: HTTP API has been refactored, please see http://wiki.chumby.com/index.php/NeTV_web_services
 * Because this is a major update, it takes a while on "finalizing updates" stage (it is configuring a hundred or so new kernel modules). The chroma key is off in this state, so you will see a big pink screen during this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
 * ssh is now off by default, you need to go to settings->enable SSH to turn it on.
