Text contents of the release notes: Security | It is now possible to add public SSH keys to dietpi.txt, to be applied at first boot for public key authentication with "dietpi" and "root" users. Additionally, SSH password authentication can be disabled for all users or "root" only. Have a look at "AUTO_SETUP_SSH_PUBKEY" and "SOFTWARE_DISABLE_SSH_PASSWORD_LOGINS" settings in /boot/dietpi.txt.
