Monday is new release day 
As I hinted last week, this release changes the default scale factor to 1.8 (instead of 2). This means a higher effective resolution (400x800 vs. 360x720), so a few apps will display/work better with this release. Unless a huge number of people pushes back on this, I think this will be the default from now on, as I'm quite pleased with how things work this way. Comments and feedback are still welcome!
This required upgrading phosh and squeekboard by including not-released-yet code, so these are to be considered beta versions, but I didn't experience any regression during the last few days of testing, so I'm feeling confident this will work out for you too
In case you don't like the 1.8 scale factor, feel free to delete /etc/phosh/phoc.ini or edit it to change the scale back to the previous version.
Regarding power management: thanks to smaeul's great work on crust, the modem can now wake the CPU up from deep sleep! The suspend mode is therefore deep sleep by default, but be aware that the "modem disconnect" issues are not solved yet, and might still require a reboot if things go wrong. Anyway, it's another step towards better power management, so I thought it was worth including in this release
As last week, starting from a fresh image is recommended.
If you'd rather upgrade using apt, you'll have to run u-boot-install-sunxi64 and remove /etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/suspend-s2idle.conf to benefit from the new power management features.
Enjoy!
