rpi-dashboard v1.2.0 is out

It is strongly suggested to download the latest installer and run it. From now on, the installer checks for a newer version of itself on each run, so this manual download is needed only once.

Dashboard:

  • security fixes: changing settings requires a password, shell injection and arbitrary file reading and writing through the config paths are fixed, CSRF protection on all forms
  • RF signal quality is now shown as bit error rate (BER), averaged over the whole voice stream, with color thresholds from a noise-limited test, and the M17 hostfile comes from the new source and is only downloaded when it has changed (thanks to Jim N1ADJ)
  • renamed a couple of menu entries
  • times use the configured timezone
  • the “Max. text messages” setting now works
  • expired map markers are removed
  • TX power is read from the config instead of being hardcoded
  • the reflector and radio status is now correct regardless of when the connection was made
  • added a “Device control” panel with reboot/shutdown buttons
  • the last element on each page no longer sits under the fixed footer

The installer script:

  • the script automatically sets the modem type based on user input
  • the web server can write only config.php and files/, no longer the whole dashboard directory
  • nginx: it now blocks web access to the dashboard’s files/ directory
