Existing Users

Existing Snakeoilers who have donated to the project and received and applied their customised registration code can upgrade to the latest release by applying these firmwares:

Firmware 0.1.2: This upgrades the web interface to the latest revision. This is required if you want the latest update.

ZeroConf: This upgrade installs and activates mDNS (bonjour). So you can use the .local names to address your Snakeoil machine, e.g. snakeoil.local. This is optional.

You are only missing the security updates from Ubuntu themselves, which should not affect the SQ.
