Mainsail update 04-2023 (Patreon)

This month was exciting. We started with the long-awaited release of MainsailOS v1.1.0 (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS/releases/tag/1.1.0) with multi-SBC support. A few days later, we were informed that the new RPI images take a long time to boot on older Raspberry Pis. Kwadfan found the bug in a Raspberry Pi package shortly after and fixed it (https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/pull/71). After fixing this bug, we released MainsailOS v1.1.1 (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS/releases/tag/1.1.1).

Furthermore, I could fix all bugs of Mainsail v2.5.0 and publish the release v2.5.1 (https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail/releases/tag/v2.5.1). I have also been working on new features, most of which are almost ready, and it will take a little time for Mainsail v2.6.0.

Furthermore, I am working on a new CANBUS tutorial/docs collection with a friend. For this, I let BTT send me all possible CAN equipment. As soon as I have written the first articles, I will make another Patreon post. I will expand it occasionally with new toolhead boards / can-adapted expand.

So happy printing, Sailors and I will then report back on Mai 14th with the following status update.
