EasyOS Kirkstone-series version 5.5.4 released

October 04, 2023 — BarryK

Decided to get this out, as preoccupied with my recumbent solar trike project right now, and there are important fixes since 5.5.3 was released so don't want to delay the version update any longer.

Here is the 5.5.3 announcement, released on September 26:
