The Kickstarter “Campaign Special” AmpliPis will be shipping with our latest new software, 0.1.7

## Highlights

Our main focus was web app usability improvements and software and firmware updates.

We realize these aren’t sexy but are necessary for more exciting changes going forward.

See [Updating from 0.1.6](#updating-from-0.1.6) below if you already have an AmplPi.

## Changes:

- Audio

- Web App

- Documentation:

- Updater:

- Hardware

## Updating from 0.1.6 and older

Those of you updating from 0.1.6 will need to download [amplipi-update-0.1.7.tar.gz](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/releases/download/0.1.7/amplipi-update-0.1.7.tar.gz) and select it from the updater.  
At the end of the update you will have a shiny new updater, that makes the process easier and looks better while doing it. Please note that at the end up the updater will think it failed, see [Updates and Releases](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi#updates-and-releases) for more details.

## Changelog:

See [0.1.6…0.1.7](https://github.com/micro-nova/AmpliPi/compare/0.1.6...0.1.7)

One user reported that they were having issues with Spotify after the update ([Spotify device no longer visible after 0.1.7 upgrade - #4 by linknum23](https://amplipi.discourse.group/t/spotify-device-no-longer-visible-after-0-1-7-upgrade/55/5)). If you are experiencing issues you may want to try updating a second time:

## Updating again

1. Go to the update site ( gear icon → Updates → Check for Updates)
2. The site should say your software is up to date if it doesn’t, do a hard refresh ( ctrl-F5 in most browsers).
3. Click the **Older releases** Tab
4. Select 0.1.7 and click **Update**
5. Stay on the page and wait for the update to finish, it will go back to the AmpliPi webapp when done

I hope this helps! 0.1.7 is a complicated update since it updates the update process. Updating a second time uses the better update process and puts the update in the standard directory instead of a special update directory.
