Hey, I was wondering why there have been no updates with start9 since November? I am assuming development is still being undergone. What is the plan for the future?

StartOS is on the verge of a major new update 0.3.6. There is no official ETA but progress is being made rapidly. 0.3.6 each service interface will get a dedicated port, usable by protocol://IP:port (and the main .local:port) so people can manually port forward from their router to each service
0.4.0 will have user-directed automated port forwarding
This means you will have many more networking options and will not be dependent on Tor but still maintain privacy and self-sovereignty

Great! That will be wonderful. I am looking forward to it.

Great! I think one of the issues is TOR is very slow. I look forward to supporting the cause.

I am thinking about using an old pc to test Start9.
Is it worth waiting for this major update or will it be possible to update from an older version without any problem?
Hi Start9Tester,
Welcome on board!
You can go ahead and play with StartOS on your old PC. You’ll be able to update when a new version comes out. Follow the white rabbit here.

Hello, I don’t want to be pushy, but is there any hope of an update soon? I noticed that the staging startOS image 0.3.6 was released back in May. Can we expect a stable or at least beta 0.3.6 soon? I’d be interested to know what we can be looking forward to in a future release and when it should be coming out.
Good luck and God Bless!

Still no official ETA but we are pretty far in to Alpha testing phase. Beta should be coming in the not so distant future
