- DietPi-Build | Generate RPi images with only 1 MiB leading empty space, which is still aligned to any possible block/cluster size and matches to what the Debian installer does, even including GRUB - DietPi-Build | Generate EFI or boot FAT partitions with a maximum cluster size up to 4 KiB to get a potential little performance boost while raising waste space a little. This also matches the default on Windows and follows a recent change on RPi OS where it was changed to 4 sectors per cluster == 2048 bytes.
- CI | Quartz64: Move whole package build to workflow and bump Linux to v6.2.7 - Quartz64 | Disable IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel driver. It enables a sit0@NONE network interface. It is a module in most other kernels, but yet to "y" by default. Since I never heard of someone using this, lets disable until someone explicitly requests it.
- DietPi-Services | Aria2 and SABnzbd are backend downloader applications which can be used by Servarr applications and alike, hence move them up - DietPi-Software | Add service ordering to a bunch of systemd units, to assure that: PHP starts after database servers, webservers start after PHP, any service which accesses or creates media starts after remote-fs.target, network services start after network-online.target, start DNS servers before nss-lookup.target and start Servarr software after backend downloaders - DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Download and extract in tmpfs move to disk from there - DietPi-Software | DarkIce: Start services as nobody:dietpi to align with Debian package service on the one hand but grant R/W access to /mnt/dietpi_userdata for (optional) local recording storage - DietPi-Software | Use "mkdir -p" in most cases instead of checking for the directory. Initially the aim was to minimise external command calls for performance reasons, but the additional code can be annoying and having all steps printed to console can be useful for users to know what needs to be done - DietPi-Software | AdGuard Home: Remove obsolete dir removal from short beta phase
- DietPi-Services | Rework to not start/stop disabled services anymore. Services previously controlled by DietPi are now enabled and hence started at boot by systemd the common way. DietPi-Services is not invoked at boot anymore, but on software installs and maintenance tasks only to stop services first and restart them afterwards if they are enabled. The menu and CLI has been adjusted to reflect that and further coding changes have been applied in the same turn.
- DietPi-Globals | G_WHIP_MENU/G_WHIP_CHECKLIST: Allow menu entries with leading dash - DietPi-Services | Internal enhancements: Merge Set_Running_State() and Apply_Service_State() functions into single Apply_Service_Command() function, since those contained mostly repetitive code. Make clear in comments that this function allows not only a single service index input, but multiple indices, which as well worked before but was not documented in the code. And further minor coding enhancements... - DietPi-Software | Do not unmask and "dietpi_controll" (=disable) all services before installs, instead unmask only those which are to be installed and enable them after all installs have finished - DietPi-PostBoot | Do not start services as this is now done the common way via systemd
- DietPi-Services | The service handling for software installed via dietpi-software has received a major rework. Previously, services were "disabled" by default, so that the systemd init system did not start them automatically at boot. Instead, they were enabled at a late boot stage as part of the dietpi-postboot service via dietpi-services. The idea was to assure fast undisturbed early boot process and to have all services started up in a specific order, which guarantees that dependencies are running before dependants. But it had several negative implications: systemd is designed to speed overall services startup via parallelism, while our serial startup broke this benefit. "systemctl status SERVICE" showed services as "disabled", which caused confusion as they were still started at boot. Consequently the only way to prevent them from being started was to mask services or exclude them with our script or its config file, as "systemctl disable SERVICE" had no effect. Also it was not uncommon that APT package upgrades left the service stopped, respecting the "disabled" state. DietPi has now been aligned with how Linux distros with systemd handle services commonly. The most important startup ordering is instead done via systemd unit "After=" ordering directives to have e.g. webservers starting after PHP, and PHP after databases. - DietPi-Software | Grafana: Bump to v9.5.7 on ARMv6
- DietPi-Services | Do not offer to restart services which are not running after doing unit changes, but do offer it for disabled services + visually fix the dialogue - DietPi-Services | Show "masked" state correctly in service menu and remove doubled "Service control" section title - DietPi-Services | Update service mode when unmasking it via menu
- DietPi-Software | Instead of forcing cron to start after MariaDB and Redis on all systems, force MariaDB and Redis to start before cron when those are installed - DietPi-Software | Portainer: Disabled the install option on ARMv6 RPi models since no Portainer Docker image is available for this architecture anymore.

- DietPi-Globals | G_AG_CHECK_INSTALL_PREREQ: If a multi-arch package is installed for multiple architectures (e.g. GPU libraries for Steam), "dpkg-query -s" fails as it expects an explicit architecture to be appended (e.g. ":amd64"). Do solve this, always add the default DPKG architecture as long as none was given as input. This currently solves unnecessarily repeating package install when selecting a GPU driver on x86 with Steam installed.
- First run setup | When connected via local console and the keyboard layout has not been changed in dietpi.txt, an additional prompt allows you now to change the keyboard layout before you are offered to change passwords. This is obviously helpful since the password input fields are masked, hence false characters due to false keyboard layout may not be recognised but bite you later when you cannot login into your installed application. Many thanks to @LeFish1 for doing this suggestion: #5925 - DietPi-Set_software | Remove "userdel" command, since it is not used anywhere
