+ DietPi-LetsEncrypt | Fix syntax when applying ownCloud/Nextcloud CLI URL

+ CHANGELOG | DietPi-LetsEncrypt: Resolved an issue where the script failed when ownCloud or Nextcloud are were installed. Many thanks to @billouetaudrey for reporting this issue: #4752

+ DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where software services failed with a cryptic error message, when an expected directory was not present. This was especially reported with Sonarr and Radarr, if their log directory was missing for some reason. When directories are missing, which are explicitly listed to be read-writeable within the systemd service, systemd prints "Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning", while Sonarr and Radarr themselves would print a clearer error message about the missing log directory. Many thanks to `@stevewitz` for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9463

+ DietPi-Software | Audiophonics PI-SPC: Merge and cleanup install and config code blocks. Add code comments to clarify that using the device tree overlays is an alternative (superior) method, compared to running the shutdown script. But before changing the methods, someone with a PI-SPC modules needs to test it. The prior comments had the pins switched and false syntax in gpio-poweroff, which may be the reason it didn't work, or not well, when this was attempted the first time.

+ DietPi-PREP | Access Armbian repository via HTTP until the router issues are solved which lead to forbidden HTTPS => HTTP redirects

+ DietPi-Software | Lighttpd: Fix false attempt to enable the OpenSSL module on systems upgraded from Buster to Bullseye

+ CHANGELOG | Lighttpd: Resolved an issue where the upgrade from Buster to Bullseye, following our guide, fails if HTTPS was enabled via DietPi-LetsEncrypt before

+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: The ARMv8/64-bit image for RPi uses the Debian Kodi package, which requires an X server

+ CHANGELOG | Kodi: Resolved an issue on RPi ARMv8/64-bit systems where Kodi fails to start when it was installed without a desktop

+ CHANGELOG | Fix  bug report reference

+ Odroid N2 | Print boot messages to HDMI as well, which seems to be NOT done automatically

+ CHANGELOG | Spelling corrections

+ DietPi-Software | CouchPotato: Sadly, the CouchPotato project is not maintained anymore and has been abandoned. In turn we removed it from DietPi. The instance installed on your system will remain, but it cannot be installed, reinstalled or uninstalled anymore. We recommend to migrate to an alternative project, like Radarr, which can be found in DietPi-Software was well. Manual CouchPotato uninstall instructions: #4323 (comment)

+ DietPi-Login | Hide DietPi banner when ~/.hushlogin exists, which is a common method to prevent the shell from printing /etc/motd on login and should hence be respected for the DietPi banner as well: #4786

+ CHANGELOG | DietPi-Login: The DietPi banner on login won't be shown anymore if ~/.hushlogin exists, which is a common method to prevent the shell from printing /etc/motd on login and should hence be respected for the DietPi banner as well. Many thanks to @dnknth for doing this suggestion: #4786

+ DietPi-Pre-patches | Migrate deb.debian.org repo to plain HTTP until latest OpenSSL has been installed. It will be reverted with (post) patches. This is required to assure OpenSSL is not grabbing the expired old certificate path.

+ DietPi-Patches | Revert deb.debian.org back to HTTPS, which has been switched to plain HTTP to resolve an issue with the old OpenSSL version, picking an expired certificate path

+ DietPi-Patches | Do not add the 3rd party GEO IP API to the Pi-hole whitelist anymore, as we use our own now

+ DietPi-Backup | Fix hash command to clear PATH cache

+ CHANGELOG | DietPi-Backup: Resolved an issue where clearing the PATH cache via "hash" command did not work as of a wrong command line argument: #4800

+ DietPi-PREP | Apply execute permissions to kernel/initramfs hooks and merge to conditions in dietpi-initramfs_cleanup, as if an argument is empty, it doesn't match "upgrade" either.

+ DietPi-Pre-patches | Add execute permissions to kernel/initramfs hooks

+ DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: The Python version compiled with Home Assistant has been bumped to v3.9.7, which resolves and issue with installs on 32-bit ARM systems. Many thanks to @Przemek for reporting this issue: #4372 (comment)
+ DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Add newly required runtime library

+ DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Add another missing newly required runtime library

+ DietPi-Software | Home Assistant: Redo dependencies depending on architecture

+ CHANGELOG | Typo

+ DietPi-Software | Deluge: Update and sort configuration files, including the removal of some settings which may have changed over the Deluge versions and which are added automatically with defaults that match our previous config. Only actual config change: Do not set the path to the GeoIP database as this does not exist by default and needs to be setup manually.
+ DietPi-Software | Deluge: Do not log to files anymore but to STDOUT/journal instead
+ DietPi-Software | Deluge: Make "dietpi" the primary group of the "debian-deluged" user instead of starting the service with it, to preserve supplementary group permissions. But keep the "debian-deluged" group, adding it as supplementary group, since this is expected by the package maintainer scripts.
+ DietPi-Software | Deluge: Merge install and config code blocks
+ DietPi-Software | Deluge: Fix web interface access credentials which were hardcoded "dietpi"

+ DietPi-Globals | Add new global function G_GET_NET to print network interface details. Most importantly it prints info for the main interface, by following the priorities of /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details: default gateway => state UP => IP assigned, but allows to additionally filter by IP family, type, interface name or print the default gateway explicitly. It aims to be a replacement for /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details with more flexibility and to allow deriving always up-to-date interface info instead of depending on the correctness of a cache file.

+ 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 | Syntax

+ DietPi-Globals | G_GET_NET: Skip loopback interface in the first place
+ DietPi-Globals | G_GET_NET: Since "read" applies all remaining arguments to the last variable, assure that only one IP address is returned

+ DietPi-Software | Add some more error handling on uninstalls

+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Fix kodi-odroid package detection

+ CHANGELOG | 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.
+ CHANGELOG | 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 | Kodi: Error-handle uninstall steps
+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Merge install and config code blocks

+ 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.

+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Minor config step reordering for best concurrency but to assure the desktop entry exists before desktop shortcuts are created.

+ DietPi-Software | Kodi: Since Bullseye, Kodi is built with GBM support, hence does not require an X server anymore.

+ DietPi-Software | Chromium: Resolved an issue where the autostart option didn't work if Chromium was installed without a desktop.

+ DietPi-Software | Some install+config block merges, some more error-handling and removal of obsolete config steps

+ DietPi-Software | Minor

+ 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

+ 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

+ General | Satisfy shellcheck

+ DietPi-Software | Chromium: Merge install and config code blocks

+ DietPi-Software | File Browser: Change default port to 8084 to resolve conflict with HTPC Manager

+ DietPi-Software | MotionEye: Minimise build dependencies (taken from Python 3 branch), do not touch existing config, add more error-handling and merge install and config code blocks

+ CHANGELOG | File Browser: The default network port has been changed to 8084 to resolve a conflict with HTPC Manager.

+ CHANGELOG | Add info that the File Browser change only affects new installs.

+ DietPi-PREP | Do not install dietpi-CHANGELOG.txt file, since we do not update it with updates since ages

+ DietPi-Patches | Remove obsolete /boot/dietpi-CHANGELOG.txt

+ 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.
+ DietPi-Patches | Remove obsolete /boot/dietpi/func/obtain_network_details
+ DietPi-Patches | GMediaRender: Patch service
+ DietPi-Config | Enter WiFi adapter menu after it has been enabled
+ DietPi-Config | Do not copy /etc/network/interfaces to /tmp to read interface info from tmpfs but read it from disk location directly. After first access this file is in filesystem cache so that reading it is as fast as from tmpfs.
+ DietPi-Patches | Extend wg0 patch to replace previous patches and remove those in turn.

+ RC up

+ DietPi-Globals | G_EXEC: Do not offer to send a bug report from within DietPi-PREP: It doesn't make sense since scripts were not yet installed or not yet fully configured.

+ DietPi-PREP | Purge another package explicitly which causes a dependency break

+ DietPi-PREP | Remove obsolete workaround for RPi WiFi

+ CHANGELOG | Add credits for File Browser + HTPC Manager port conflict reporter: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9507`

+ DietPi-TimeSync | Use the same flag file that systemd-timesyncd itself uses since Buster, to skip an additional service restart and sync when it was done already.
+ DietPi-TimeSync | When our oneshot modes (boot only, hourly, daily) are selected, systemd-timesyncd is now "enabled" to be started by systemd earlier at boot, instead of on our script call. Especially since both now share the same flag file (on Buster and above), this has a chance to prevent an additional service restart if the time sync has finished already when PostBoot is reached.
+ DietPi-Boot | This script and service has been removed: Waiting for network is now done via DietPi-PostBoot "After=network-online.target", time sync is done in DietPi-PostBoot, but in background (mostly not required for service starts) and pre-installed image stage handling is as well done in PostBoot now.
+ DietPi-Update | A network connection and time sync check is now done before checking for updates, similar to how DietPi-Software does it on installs.

+ Syntax and shellcheck

+ DietPi-Software | Remove all dietpi-boot.service references and an obsolete WireGuard service drop-in config

+ README | Add notes about wait for network and time sync changes

+ RC up

+ CHANGELOG | Set release PR URL
