RePlayOS is evolving...

Hi everyone,

The next RePlayOS update introduces an important shift in how the system will be distributed and maintained.

This release will include all the remaining low-level and technical work that was originally planned for v1.0.0. These foundational improvements are now complete and will serve as the base for future features.

🚀 New: System Online Updater

RePlayOS is moving to a rolling update model.

From now on:

• There will be a single base image

• All future improvements will be delivered through the System Online Updater

• You install once, and keep your system updated directly from within RePlayOS

New full images will only be released when strictly necessary:

• Breaking system changes (bootloader, firmware, partitioning)

• Major architecture changes

• New hardware baseline (e.g., Pi6)

📦 Base image naming

The final name of the base image will be:

replayos-base-rpi-v1.6.0.img.xz

Notes:

• “base” indicates this is the initial install image

• “rpi” covers Raspberry Pi targets

• The version is kept for traceability and support

• The file is compressed using .xz (supported directly by tools like Balena Etcher and Raspberry Pi Imager — no manual extraction required)
