5.0.12-0

Released in testing channel updates on 11th July 2024

7th Stable Release Candidate (RC7)

Thanks to all who have helped us to get this far. Special thanks to @Flox co-maintainer, and @Hooverdan forum moderator & all-around core contributor.

Bar some recent forum reports - that have yet to be resolved fully to the GitHub issue stage, we have now cleared our next Stable Milestone: alas we have an outstanding Pi4 service fail on first reboot (noted on downloads page), but works if then started by-hand! And a curious Web-UI scrub status unknown issue - but the scrub is non-the-less executed OK! But as always: bit by bit.

5.0.13-0

Released in testing channel updates on 17th July 2024

8th Stable Release Candidate (RC8)

As always: special thanks to @Flox co-maintainer, and @Hooverdan forum moderator & all-around core contributor.

  • @Tex1954 thanks for the “unknown” scrub reporting: should be fixed now. We had a hick-up in btrfs-progs version sensing: now improved to be more robust.
  • @Stevek thanks for reporting you findings re the Share resize: It related to an artifact of imported pool: but all good as we were due for some quota support improvements.

I would like to draw attention to the ‘13’ minor version designation here: please test extra thoroughly :slight_smile: .

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 home share 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 :slight_smile: . 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 :slight_smile: .
