-- Changes --

Changed the startup procedure from overwriting the /etc/rc.local to running the necessary scripts using run-parts in cron from /etc/cron.raspiwifi

The full binary OS image for this release is now based off of the Lite version of Raspbian. All future releases will be based off of the current Raspbian Lite image.

-- Fixes --

Added a delayed re-trigger of the isc-dhcp-server on boot in AP Host mode to accommodate the Raspberry Pi Zero W. The much slower CPU seemed to be executing things out of order, trying to start the DHCP server before the interface was ready. This caused the connection to the AP to fail since no IP address could be issued.

Added missing dependencies for the Lite version of Raspbian Jessie to the initial setup routine initial_setup.py. This was the cause of a lot of previous bugs reported. I was testing using the full version of Raspbian up to this point.

-- Issues --

It takes about 2 minutes for the web interface to come up initially on the Raspberry Pi Zero. This is due to the fact that all HTML assets are compile the first time the page is displayed. The delay will only happen the first time the interface is visited. On a Raspberry Pi 3 this initial delay is only about 3-5 seconds.
