    Script to update between releases is finally ready, and with that I am taking this out of pre-release!
    To get the update script use the following commands:

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRemote/Ubuntu-Server-raspi4-unofficial/master/Updater.sh
    chmod +x Updater.sh
    sudo ./Updater.sh

    You can update from any pre-release release version. Please make a backup first!
    The updater is located at /home/Updater.sh on v15 and up (to run type sudo bash /home/Updater.sh)
