We have made several important improvements in this release.
<!-- more -->
* **Improved HID modules for Arduino and OTG**. Now, if the server is disabled, the event queue will not grow, and irrelevant events (such as keystrokes for a disabled server) will be deleted.
* **Added an experimental service for configuring the USB network** (issuing addresses to the server, firewall, and so on): kvmd-otgnet. Now you can up the FTP server on Pi-KVM and share files with the server [using it](https://docs.pikvm.org/usb_ethernet/).
* For all KVMD daemons the **startup method has been changed**: the `--run` option is required to prevent accidental startup. Updated systemd services. Migration will be transparent for users.
* **Fixed a very rare VNC bug** that could cause the server to stop transmitting an image and require a restart.
* **Minor UI improvements** (more compact menubar, etc).
To update:
```console
rw
pacman -Syu
reboot
```
