Version 2.1

This release includes several often requested features, including OpenVPN and HTTP/SSL support. The Quick Installer has been refactored and generalized to handle many aspects of a RaspAP installation. Custom configurations are also now preserved when upgrading RaspAP, and developers will find it easier to fork and customize the project. Numerous bug fixes plus smaller enhancements and tweaks are included in this release.

Finally, the Quick Installer now has a simpler (and more memorable) address:

curl -sL https://install.raspap.com | bash

Details below. Thanks as always to the invaluable contributions of our community.

Version 2.0

This 2.0 release brings the project up to date with the latest versions of SB Admin 2 and Bootstrap 4. It is a major refactor of the front-end with special attention to small handheld devices. During the front-end refactoring, all supported language translations were also brought up to date. In addition, several new languages have been added to the project.

Details below. Thanks as always to the invaluable contributions of our community.

Enhancements

• Replaced Morris Charts with Chart.js.
• Added collapsible sidebar with a persistent toggle option.
• Standardized service/interface status indicators, thanks @glaszig.
• Better all-around mobile device support.
• Optimized display on small devices (portrait phones up to 576px).
• Upgraded to Font Awesome 5.0 icons.
• Added Chart.js based link quality meter on Dashboard.

Version 1.6.2

Maintenance and future-proofing release. This brings the project up-to-date with regard to dependencies, creates a more standardized directory structure, and streamlines the install footprint somewhat.

Bower, a dependency manager for front-end components, has been deprecated for some time now in favor of Yarn and NPM. In migrating away from Bower to Yarn, this was also a good time to refactor the project's Gulp build process.

End users of RaspAP won't notice a big difference here, as there are no new features or bug fixes in this release. Developers, however, will be able to more easily modify RaspAP's dependencies and create custom builds from their forked projects (prior releases mostly inherited SB Admin 2's dependencies). Now this is as simple as modifying package.json and executing:

yarn install
gulp

Most importantly, this release paves the way for a future upgrade to Bootstrap 4 and the latest release of Start Bootstrap's SB Admin 2. RaspAP still uses the last stable release of the legacy Bootstrap 3 version of this theme. Look for this to change soon.

Version 1.6.1
