These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.758 — Preview build: Legend boxes get every release the day it ships; a page on memory and what fits - SparkBox now has two release channels. Legend (and Backer) boxes are on the Preview build: every release the day it ships, newest features and experiments first, with the occasional rough edge. Every other box is on Stable and gets a release after it has run on the preview boxes for about a week. Security fixes reach every box at once on both channels. Nothing to configure: your box asks the release server for its channel from the licence key it holds. - Settings → Updates now says which channel this box is on. A free box sees what the preview build has that it does not yet, and the day it arrives; sudo sparkbox update prints the same. A box never moves backwards. - When a preset does not fit the box, the dashboard now links to a new page, tomsparkbox.com/hardware: how much memory each preset needs, which memory your NAS or mini PC takes, and where to look for more. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply here. Include your SparkBox version and what you see; leave passwords and licence keys out.
