4.5.8-0
Released in Testing Channel updates on 7th March 2023
Our Fifth Stable Release Candidate
Some important config restore fixes in this one from the venerable @Flox. As always much appreciated.
Also thanks (again) to @Hooverdan on some investigative reporting re a quotas disabled - share creation blocker bug. All sorted now however. We also have the removal of some way-old Raid0 restrictions that no longer make sense, and we have, in the process, eased our way into future expansion on the btrfs-raid levels. More on that in coming releases I suspect, but I’m just guessing here mind 
.
@aremiaskfa keep an eye out for the fix you instigated that was released in 4.5.7-0, as that will now come into play as that code version upgrades to what we have here. On that note, we have, hopefully finally, a fix for the fake upgrade message that was cosmetic in nature but psychological in effect. Again the field proof here will be when this version (4.5.8-0) is installed and then again in turn once our now multi-arch repos get populated with a newer version. Eyes on that one if we can folks.
Thanks and a welcome
I would also very much like to thank the forums/communities own long standing @Hooverdan for their excellent work here of late and over the years; and to announce their new Moderator status/badge. It looks good on them I think. So remember to dot your 'i’s and cross those 't’s: there’s yet another moderator about.
