    New Raspberry 3B+ on the market

    1.4 Ghz Quad Core instead of 1.2 Ghz Quad Core;
    More copper on the board for better heat dissipation;
    Wifi 5.0 Ghz support (b/g/n/ ac);
    Bluetooth 4.2 instead of 4.0 for less energy;
    Through a HAT poe support for feeding through the network port.

    Today I made upgrade of one of my Pi from Jessie to stretch. It took about 2,5 hours with download (during installation 4-5 prompts to confirm with selected automatic restart of services).
    Only one issue after upgrade is that dump1090-mutability is not working (problem with rtl-sdr drivers).
    Solutions:
    https://discussions.flightaware.com...90-mutability-v1-15-dev-does-not-work/25009/7
    or
    https://forum.planefinder.net/threads/dump1090-mutability-v1-15-dev-v-stretch.1017/page-2
    I used 1st one with manual blacklisting usb stick.
    Tested on Pi3 (+ will arrive soon).

    Lower temperature and less CPU used.

    For people who want to control their Rpi remotely via the internet, it can be useful.
    I am going to place a Rpi at a distance of 120 km from my house and can then work with the Rpi without the intervention of someone. To prevent locks, I let the Rpi reboot by crontab at night.
    With Teamviewer I only need to log in with a password; Tviewer keeps track of the ID of the Rpi. If that also goes smooth with raspap, it is recommended.

    Why not just ssh into it?

    For some feeders, behind firewalls, port forwarding, and general complexities of networking eludes. For example, hosting a feeder at your place of work where traffic is firewalled extensively.

    Disable wireless connection Stretch Rpi3B+

    Because wlan0 suppresses the static connection eth0 I turn off the wireless connection with
    Code:
    sudo rfkill block 0
    to restore with
    Code:
    sudo rfkill unblock 0
