This is a very important release. In addition to new features and fixes, a large number of internal changes have been made for the upcoming H264/WebRTC support.
<!-- more -->
As usual, I tested everything very carefully, but anyway. If you notice anything strange (for example, with the stream), let me know.
- **Added module for new managed KVM switch Tesmart** (as an Ezcoo alternative): https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/blob/master/pages/tesmart.md. It can be used in a same way from Web UI.
- Fixed the **Bluetooth HID** emulation module.
- **Improved text insertion via the Web UI**: typographic quotes are now replaced with ASCII quotes. Many sites where scripts can be copied from like to break quotes, so I decided to make life a little easier for sysadmins.
- Due to a bug in systemd/udev, **port binding for USB HDMI is disabled**. This is temporary for now, but I'm considering getting rid of it altogether, because no one seems to be using multiple video devices on the Pi-KVM.
- **Redesigned the System menu in the Web UI** to make it more compact, as due to H264 and v3 there will be a lot of new settings.
To update:
```console
rw
pacman -Syu
reboot
```
