Hm. Way sooner than I expected.

But does it work?

Could mean coovachili works, if the packages are there.


More Detail in the blog post (

Example:

"BETTER HANDLING OF OTHER USERNAMES

The default user account in Raspbian has always been called ‘pi’, and a lot
of the desktop applications assume that this is the current user. This has
been changed for Stretch, so now applications like Raspberry Pi
Configuration no longer assume this to be the case. This means, for
example, that the option to automatically log in as the ‘pi’ user will now
automatically log in with the name of the current user instead.

One other change is how sudo is handled. By default, the ‘pi’ user is set
up with passwordless sudo access. We are no longer assuming this to be the
case, so now desktop applications which require sudo access will prompt for
the password rather than simply failing to work if a user without
passwordless sudo uses them."

Tim does this help Captive Portal implementation?

In any case, this is a major change from the underlying Debian 8.x to
Debian 9.x.

Raspbian "Pixel" appears to have been renamed "WITH DESKTOP" to avoid
confusion.

Raspbian "LITE" retains that name (no X Windows desktop).
