So.....in early March I changed over to Zeus....the other night I upgraded to it's final version......and now (just about 30 days after Zeus) there's yet another new build image?.....bet this one won't support back ups from Zeus either......I don't think I'll be going onto Helios yet.....I'll wait till they develop Icarus.......
Zeus was a total rewrite and a new core which is why it had to be a total reflash with no settings backups used, this is also why it took nearly four months to release after the last ViX 3.0 series image.
Helios was unfortunately due to a recent merge with the latest OE (Open Embedded), This contained a hell of a lot of fixes including one for the heartbleed bug which in turn affected almost every other part of the image due to dependencies, It was not our plan to make a new image so soon after Zeus but for security reasons we though it better to do the update now rather than be caught with our pants down with this heartbleed bug.
we had to release Helios because after the merge with the new OE it was no longer possible to update Zeus without affecting pretty much every aspect of the image and rather than users ignore our request not to use the online update we decided to take that option out of their hands. You can however use a settings backup from Zeus in Helios without issue, but not from ViX 3.0 that version is just too out dated to be compatible with any image now being used or worked on.
