Release Notes
Changelog

And as usual a big thanks to the beta testers and translators, which a special mention for @alec_eiffel who is responsible for the French translation.

Enjoy!

Is 2006.03 actually available yet, please?

I’ve had the usual page open for several hours without what I’m used to seeing: a link top right in Information…

TIA…!

@Mark_Sealey

Is 2006.03 actually available yet, please?

It has been released (and thus available) since yesterday.

[Mark_Sealey]

Thanks, Harry! And thanks for the update

I’ve had that page open (and refreshed it several times) for the last four hours or so. Nothing yet.

Should I just keep waiting, please?

[spockfish (Harry ten Berge)]

Yeah, it can take up 8 hours or so, so I would just give it some more time.

If it’s not available in another few hours then send me feedback so I can have look.

Thanks

[Mark_Sealey]

Many thanks, again.

Yes - it just appeared.

But is the process stalled if it doesn’t get beyond this stage, please, Harry?

The same thing happened last update - and I don’t want to risk interrupting it:

Same here on a Pi3b with HifiBerry DAC hat

Are you sure you’re not on the beta channel?

[Mark_Sealey]

No, I’m not on the beta channel.

[spockfish (Harry ten Berge)]

Can you just pull the plug and see what happens if you fire it back up?

[Mark_Sealey]

Of course. I did just that. I expected to get the full interface.

But get the same thing…

If I remove the ‘/init’, I get the tabbed control panel I’m used to - also with RoPieee 2026.03 (3367) [STABLE]

Would I be right in thinking that the update process did complete, but something just hung?

Yeah…. can you send me feedback?

[Mark_Sealey]

Gladly, Harry.

Your help much appreciated!

The good news is that you’re running on 2026.03: all is good.

However, I see continuous disconnects from the web-page, which I can’t explain. And if this happens during the update and the startup, I can imagine you get the behavior that you’ve seen.

Which browser are you using if I may ask?

[Mark_Sealey]

Harry,

@spockfish

Yes, good. Thanks!

@spockfish

Indeed. I can see that. It’s only happened in the last two updates.

@spockfish

Which browser are you using if I may ask?

Safari (26.3.1 (21623.2.7.11.7) on Tahoe, macOS 26.3.1)

If that turns out to be the cause, I’ll happily switch to accessing RoPiee on FireFox.

Well, if that’s reason why I see this messages, I still wanna know (and fix ).
Anyways, for now just enjoy the music and I’ll see if I can get access to Safari.

Thanks!

Definitely. Happy to help if I can in this… . Good luck!

RP4 went through w/o a hitch
