Overview
This is the first release of a renewed testing phase. The testing ‘branch’ was last merged with the master branch at 4.6.0-0 denoting a new Stable release phase in the master branch. This new testing phase stems from that code snapshot and represents a known unknown (read out-for-testing) see:

Overview
DEVELOPERS ONLY AGAIN:
As we have now significantly updated our Python in the prior release of 5.0.0-0 we have had to employ a brute force wipe of the virtual environment we actually run in/on! This will be happening for the forceable future in testing updates. See: (t) in wiping venv we need to restart all services · Issue #32 · rockstor/rockstor-rpmbuild · GitHub for future plans to smoothing out this mechanism. So:
command line reboot may be requried
once this update has completed.
What’s Changed
(t) Failure to check for updates in locales other than en_US #2627 by @phillxnet in #2628
Thanks to @Mark93 & @eriklysoe for reporting and helping to diagnose these issues.
Also thanks to @Flox for helping extensively with both the above issues.
Also thanks to @StephenBrown2 for taking a looks at our ongoing development - we nearly go a pull request in by them but unfortunately there was just too much going on with these issues which needed to be addressed before we have the feature addition associated with their ongoing pull request.
Test away and report rapidly as we work against the forces of kipple.

Overview
DEVELOPERS ONLY - we are still early on in the new testing phase.
Thanks to @Flox and forum members @agjbond007 and @anborn for helping to identify a zypper dup related issue that left older (but distribution updated) rockstor installs with an incompatibility re pg_config availability. This has now been resolved in this update. If you were affected and have not applied the issue-linked forum fix then a cli update to this version and rebooting there-after should fix things. All helps with improving our robustness re updates so many thanks all-around there.
And we have a feature add by forum member @StephenBrown2, a now long in the tooth Rockstor users (returning contributor) who has enabled ZSTD compression within our Web-UI (default level for now). Nice. And as always much appreciated.
And of course thanks to our intrepid forum moderator @Hooverdan for helping here, there, and everywhere .
What’s Changed

Overview
DEVELOPERS ONLY - we are still early on in the new testing phase.
Thanks to @Flox (co-maintainer) and @Hooverdan (forum moderator and all around help).
As always thanks also to all those attributed below for development/review/issue work. And to forum members @marciopamplona (reporting our ghosting of prior config-backups) and @eriklysoe for confirming the same. @Hooverdan & @Flox worked out what we (read my mistake) had missing in our rpm scriptlets during update using our new Poetry build/deploy system. I have provided a fix in this release for the core issue here, but we have (as always) more room for improvements in this area.
We also have some on-boarding and development niceties comming in with this release and @StephenBrown2 has followed up with yet more compression improvements within the Web-UI. Following-up on their prior introduction of zstd as a compression option.
Overall we have a number of update/development improvements that should help with easing the dependency updates we have planned.

Overview
DEVELOPERS ONLY - we are still early-mid cycle in our current testing phase.
Thanks to @Flox (co-maintainer) & @Hooverdan (forum moderator and all around help).
This update is the first for a while to not include any changes to our rpmbuild specification. This is a good thing and follows-on from a series of recent changes to fix various update issue that were reported here on the forum. This time around, post 5.0.3-0, we have had no such reports. Time will tell if we have these all resolved now, so keep an eye out; as always.
This release concerns mainly some preparation/fixes re our next Django update, and some AD/LDAP fixes/improvements: thanks to @Flox for these, and recent form member @bhotrock for reporting and assisting with the latter. We also have a nice user experience upgrade from @Hooverdan re our new, more obvious display of our “Uses openSUSE Leap/Tumblewed …” OS version.
