The v1.6 release is via a UI upgrade button, there are no downloadable
images for FPP v1.6. If you are already running v1.5, you need to
first update to the latest v1.5 code by rebooting or using the
"manual update" button. Once you are running the latest v1.5
code, you should see a new 'upgrade' button appear below the menu
which will allow you to upgrade your running v1.5 system to v1.6.
Changes in v1.6 include:
* Channel Output drivers
- Zig Zag ability added to BBB String for F16-B/F4-B and other controllers
- Virtual Matrix can now use RGB color order in addition to original BGR
- New RPIWS281x Channel Output added to allow driving up to two strings of
WS281x/TM180x pixels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO headers
- New Generic Serial Channel Output

- Remote status screen now shows sequence and media being played and position
