After what feels like an eternity (and yes, it really took way too long!), we are incredibly excited to finally present MainsailOS v2.0.0 to you!
This major release is based on the current Debian Bookworm and brings a wealth of important new features and improvements to take your 3D printing experience to the next level.
Debian Bookworm Base
MainsailOS is now up-to-date with Debian Bookworm, providing a modern and stable foundation.
Completely New Build Workflow
We've cleaned up behind the scenes! For the build process, we are now using CustoPiZer instead of CustomPiOS. This means a more efficient, transparent, and robust workflow.
New Sonar v2 Service
Our network monitoring service, Sonar, has been rewritten from scratch in Python and launches as Sonar v2 – more performant and future-proof!
Raspberry Pi 5 Support
The new image now also runs on the Raspberry Pi 5!
But be aware: We, the crew, still recommend the Pi 5 only with reservations for use with Klipper and webcams, as the important hardware encoder for webcam video processing is missing. This can impact performance.
You can find the download link and the full changelog on GitHub as always: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS/releases/tag/2.0.0
You can now flash MainsailOS v2.0.0 directly to your SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager!
Thank you for your incredible feedback, patience, testing, and support!
Enjoy MainsailOS v2.0.0 and Happy Printing!
