OpenWrt
As usually the upgrade instructions on [piratebox.cc] apply for this release also. Remember, that all changes in /opt/piratebox and OpenWrt changes will be overwritten.
This release contains fixes for the UI. In case you did not have a custom UI, you should consider to remove the folder "content" (in Piratebox) on your USB stick.

Technically, you can also do a "quick update", but only from 1.1.x:
* Download piratebox_ws_1.1_img.tar.gz
* Power off the PirateBox
* Take the USB stick to your computer
* Place piratebox_ws_1.1_img.tar.gz inside your install folder.
* Savely remove the USB stick and put it back to your PirateBox
* Power the PirateBox online
* Login via SSH to your PirateBox
* run the following commands:

  /etc/init.d/minidlna stop
  /etc/init.d/piratebox stop
  /etc/init.d/piratebox updatePB  
  /etc/init.d/piratebox start
  /etc/init.d/minidlna start

RaspberryPI
The recommended way for RPi is currently a complete reflash, like described in the RaspberryPi tutorial.

This is only my signature.

In the text box of the german translation, there is:
Vom Netz getrennt zu sein, ist die Voraussetzung für volle Anonymität.
There should not be a comma in the sentence.

Thanks,
fixed and staged for 1.1.4

Thank you
I already have queued several patches for 1.1.4 and started to work on a port to LEDE for supporting new devices.
