4.5.9-1
Our first release under our new non-profit / non-business Open Collective: The Rockstor Project
Stop by to see how our “Sustainability” goals are doing in our first full week.
Released in Testing Channel updates on 29th April 2023.
Our Sixth Stable Release Candidate
So 4.5.9-0 was all set to leave the barn (in the usually herd manner) when new and shiny Tumbleweed (but only in aarch64 garb mind) decided to play up a tad: as in fail to build. But no worries, it turns out it was fixed in a dependency of one of our dependencies, and related, as usual to some TW shiny (the compiler). Hence the less usual in our more recent releases “-1” nomenclature.
Briefly we have yet another fix from kanecko on GitHub: a nice (long awaited) Rock-on Web-UI scroll bar enhancement. Along with some major fixes from @Flox (AD stuff included) and from myself. Note however that @Hooverdan our forum moderator has also been well active in both that role and in issue/pr maintenance and such. Thanks, as usual, to all involved in this last (slightly longer) round of updates in testing. As always much appreciated. Also note that almost all these issues came from interaction with folks here on the forum.
Oh and did I mention we now have a bunch of new raid levels. Yes, I just did. Raid1c3 or raid1c4 anyone. And by the way; we also now surface and support mixed raid levels. Just saying.
