Beta v7.7.1

(2021-10-14)

Changes since v7.7.0

  • General | The /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details script has been removed, including the related /run/dietpi/.network file to obtain network details. All uses of these files have been replaced with the new DietPi-Globals G_GET_NET function (see below).
  • DietPi-JustBoom | Added the ability to enforce an output channel count, or to not enforce an audio format value to preserve the input stream format or leave conversion up to ALSA, which is now the default when resetting settings. Similarly the audio output buffer can now be unset to keep the MPD default. Generally, if not required for a specific reason, it is recommended to not convert the audio stream and keep these settings unchanged/default.
  • DietPi-Software | Kodi: On Debian Bullseye, with Kodi 19, GBM support is present by default, which means that Kodi can be started without a wrapping X server. This is now done by default when starting Kodi outside of a desktop session, including the dietpi-autostart option. This also means that an X server is not installed anymore as a dependency of Kodi, but only as a dependency of a deskop environment.
  • DietPi-Software | Kodi: It can now be installed on all devices. In some cases, video playback performance may be bad, depending on the GPU, whether good drivers are available, and on the video quality, of course. However, it should be our users who evaluate whether it's sufficient or not, instead of us. With Debian Bullseye, new Mesa drivers and Kodi 19 started via GBM, performance should be much better than it was with older Debian/package versions.
  • DietPi-Software | File Browser: The default network port has been changed to 8084 to resolve a conflict with HTPC Manager. This only affects new File Browser installs.

Fixes since v7.7.0

v7.7
d95ed27 
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Since Bullseye, Kodi is built with GBM support, hence does not require an X server anymore.
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Remove device restrictions: Generally Kodi runs on all devices, whether performance is sufficient may be decided by user instead of by us. Especially since Bullseye with GBM support and recent Mesa drivers, it is often quite good, tested successfully on a pretty bad VM without deducated GPU and no hardware support passed through.
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: To assure that Kodi installs on all Odroids, be more compatible with missing packages from Meverics repository, respectively skip install of special Odroid packages and use Debian's Kodi, if required, e.g. currently on Bullseye.
+ DietPi-Software | X.Org X Server: Similar to Kodi, skip install of Odroid drivers and libraries if those are not available, in which case the Mesa drivers are used.

+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Error-handle uninstall steps
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Merge install and config code blocks
@MichaIng
v7.7
c8ff675 
+ DietPi-Update | Be less verbose on live patches, as the system in general has been proven reliable
+ DietPi-Update | Only show the live patches menu when any applicable and not applied live patches have been found instead of when any live patches have been found
+ DietPi-Update | Currently, when doing an RC update (beta/dev branch updates) or reapplying the last update via "dietpi-update -1", pre-patches intended for the target version may not be reapplied. To solve this, the version strings which were possibly decreased updater-internally are not passed an used by the pre-patches script.
@MichaIng
v7.7
1532bd4 
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Minor config step reordering for best concurrency but to assure the desktop entry exists before desktop shortcuts are created.

@MichaIng
v7.7
9d6197f 
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Fix MPD settings detection when settings are not present
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Add the ability to set the number of output channels
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Add the ability to not enforce a format value, preserving the input stream format or leaving conversion to ALSA
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Add the ability to reset the audio buffer for default. It was 2 MiB in the past, but now is 4 MiB. Also fix the unit as it is KiB, not bytes
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Remove unused CAVA_ENABLED variable, but do not restart CAVA whenever settings are applied. We have dedicated (re)start/stop CAVA options which can be used to control CAVA instead, including, if wanted, a restart when settings were changed.
+ DietPi-JustBoom | Align menu format, merge/remove some non-required variables and steps and other minor coding enhancements
@MichaIng
v7.7
b725fc4 
+ General | Worked around an issue on Debian Stretch where "systemctl enable/disable --now" does not start/stop the service in certain circumstances. This is solved within our error handler "G_EXEC", hence when manually calling systemctl you may still face this: #4815
+ General | For the above workaround to be effective, all related systemctl calls have been wrapped into our G_EXEC error handler, in case of DietPi-Software uninstall steps along with a lot of other uninstall steps, to be both, more transparent and assure cleaner uninstalls

Is this worth a note? I mean it affects only fresh installs.
