I can at least say that the “Places” menu on the left is back in @PiNetDev Stretch (after being disabled in Raspbian), allowing for easy access to flash drives (and @microbit_edu’s) along with PiNet shared folders. So am *slowly* making progress... @all_about_code @RaspiKidd

Got asked again today "Is PiNet Stretch nearly ready yet?..." Oh how I wish I could say yes, but the move to Stretch has brought with it bug after bug after bug in LTSP, Raspberry Pi Trading packages, PiNet itself and other core software. You fix one and another appears 🙁

Pleased to confirm PiNet Jessie Alpha now includes full support for @Raspberry_Pi 3 B+! Updates for Beta/Stable channels will role out over next few weeks once folks on the Alpha channel have had time to test it all out. PiNet Jessie Alpha servers will prompt on next startup.

Given have already had questions from PiNet users on new Pi 3B+ (many assuming I got pre-warning, which I didn’t) PiNet does not at this second support Pi 3B+, given I have only been aware of it for 4 hours. I have one on order so hope to try and get support over next few weeks

As has already been confirmed by @simonlong_rpi, Raspbian Jessie (which PiNet Stable LTS branch is based on) won’t include support which is unfortunate. I will do some testing though when I get 1 and see if is possible to backport support to PiNet Stable. raspberrypi.org/blog/raspber…

Fantastic to see PiNet (even if just in the background) on a local TV station! Thanks @ghostyroasty. xitter.cf/ghostyroasty/status/96…

I guess it was inevitable eventually... Had first support request come into the @PiNetDev support email address for @Raspberry_Pi PiServer, as opposed to PiNet this morning... Seemed bit confused between the 2 of them. I pointed him towards Pi forums (or just install PiNet 😀 )

Just a quick reminder to schools/organisations still running PiNet Wheezy. Support is no longer provided for any PiNet installation running 1.1.12 and below (final Wheezy release) as of 1st Jan 2018. This was initially announced back in Dec 2016, then extended in Aug 2017.
