Finally here is the newest Minera, there are some main changes and one you don't like at all I think So first of all, the main one is the new Debian (Raspbian) release Jessie which now Minera has built-in.
Of course you can't have Jessie release if you don't start from new Minera image because the upgrade is too much long and I cannot do it in your current system. So you have to install a new Minera image (only 0.7.0 version) in your SD Card (or you can always try to upgrade to Jessie by yourself, it's not difficult but it could take a lot of time in old RPI)
And now the worst change I know you don't want, but here we are.
I introduced banner Ads in Minera web interface.
I know nobody likes them but I enjoyed the time to build all the infrastructure to receive donation to remove them. Because yes, you can remove ads FOREVER from your systems donating a small amount (it sets now at 0.01BTC).
With this kind of donation (you find the remove ads button in the settings page) you will have ONE Minera system ads-free forever based on its MAC-Address.
You don't need to do anything but donate and wait a couple of minutes, Minera connects to my central server to check the payments (each minute) and automatically remove the ads.
If you change your RPI (and so the Mac Address), just send me an email and I will switch it (probably I will add an option to do this by yourself in the future).
And that's all about ads, oh well and yes, you can always hack your Minera and remove the ads by coding it, it's not hard and Minera is always open source, but if you donate I appreciate much more
IMPORTANT:
The upgrade script could take some time so I strongly suggest you to upgrade viw Terminal (you can use the web one too under System):
cd /var/www/minera
sudo git fetch --all && sudo git reset --hard origin/master && sudo ./upgrade_minera.sh
If you upgrade "manually" you won't have the new Jessie release, for that you need to start from scratch (New image file).
This is not all for this new release but for the remaining just look at the changelog below.

to start with TY
I never have a problem with donating if that's what it takes to a keep a worth while thing like this going if you ever need to charge us a one time fee for this or that i have no problem with that at all , i just bought awesome miner pro i was that impressed with it and i tried it over a year ago it wasn't that great to me then . but this time around it was i guess they really fixed some stuff in it .
SO my point by saying that about awesome miner is I will with minera to if it comes to that only because to me it would be worth it and there is no other GUI like this one that actually works this good . with all most every miner ever made .
and im having solar installed in a few days so now all i need is a few of the 16 mn chip miners im set .
Hes right unless your prepared for a long upgrade process and nite mare that might led to a fresh install just save your setting and redo the SD , i tried a week or so ago and ended up doing a manual install with UBUNTU 15.
