5.0.14-0
Released in testing channel updates on 27th August 2024
9th Stable Release Candidate (RC9)
As always: special thanks to @Flox co-maintainer, and @Hooverdan forum moderator & all-around core contributor.
-
@andyz Thanks for the detailed report re the system reserved
homeshare issue, now fixed in this release. - @MyOwn Thanks for the Pi4 reboot confirmation. We finally tracked this down to extra systemd config required as a result of no persistent real-time-clock. That was a tricky one.
Counter to expectations, our prior 5.0.13-0 release was actually drama free: so we are definitely getting there 
. Only minor / cosmetic / maintenance changes in this release, but we do have some long awaited multi container Rock-on fixes that we squeezed in to accommodate a specific Rock-on in-the-works. More on this when the time comes.
The remaining goals for the current testing channel phase are now minimal. Only show-stoppers will be entertained prior to some more cosmetics before we have our long awaited 5.1.x-x Stable tag.
A special testing request goes out to those familiar with our Share replication subsystem. Our “Routine update of dependencies” introduced a new major version of pyzmq. This is as-yet untested: but the prior version worked just dandy .
