What's Changed

  • BREAKING CHANGE Renamed project to PiSCSI, with new names for binaries, services, and INQUIRY Vendor etc.
    • rascsi -> piscsi
    • rasctl -> scsictl
    • rasdump -> scsidump
  • Modern Web UI using Bootstrap CSS, with adaptive layout for small screens (fallback to Classic Web UI on old browsers)
  • Beta support for Banana Pi M2+ (needs more optimization to be fully performant)
  • The ability to format new disk images, with HFS or FAT, on the fly in the Web UI
  • Added Simplified Chinese localization
  • Overhauled the scsidump tool with bugfixes, features and documentation
  • Defaults to the clang++ compiler when using easyinstall.sh for much faster and more memory efficient compilation

  • Added support for Samba and FTP file servers, in addition to AppleShare
    • BREAKING CHANGE The default file sharing dir is now ~/shared_files, and not ~/afpshare. Please re-run the Netatalk installation script, or move the dir and update the /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default file yourself.
