New software
- DietPi-Software | fish: A dietpi-software entry for this alternative shell has been added. Aside of installing the fish APT package, a DietPi-specific config script is added to enable dietpi-* aliases and load the dietpi-login script for first run setup and autostart options. Many thanks to @ndrew222 for implementing this software option: MichaIng/DietPi!7452
Enhancements
- General: DietPi scripts will now call sensible-editor instead of nano for opening text files in a command-line text editor. This makes also use of the update-alternatives feature, will usually prefer e.g. Vim if installed, and may allow interactive selection of one of the installed editors, if multiple are available. Many thanks to @Keating950 for implementing this enhancement: MichaIng/DietPi!7474
- DietPi-Tools | DietPi-Backup: Support for writing a backup into an SSHFS has been added.
- DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Our packages have been updated to Amiberry v7. Additionally, recommended for ARM and RISC-V SBCs slower than Raspberry Pi 4, Amiberry-Lite has been implemented as dedicated software option. Since APT upgrades from Amiberry v5 to v7 automatically, a backup of the old config/data directory will be created, and in case used as initial config/data directory for Amiberry-Lite. Hence if Amiberry v7 does not run well on your platform, you can install Amiberry-Lite, starting with the previous v5 setup. Some more details about the two variants can be found here: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/wiki/First-Installation#which-version-should-i-pick
- DietPi-Software | WiringPi: Added support for Orange Pi boards, using the wiringOP sources from Xunlong: orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP
- DietPi-Software | Spotifyd: Added support for ARMv8 and x86_64 Bookworm/Trixie systems, supported with the latest Spotifyd release.
- DietPi-Software | RPi.GPIO
- Since the modern Raspberry Pi kernel removed support for the legacy GPIO API, python3-rpi-lgpio will now be installed instead, providing an RPi.GPIO compatibility layer for the modern lgpio library.
- DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: By default, instances installed via dietpi-software will additionally listen on TCP port 8489 for HTTPS requests. It is one of the Pi-hole v6 core features users might expect enabled by default. It uses a self-signed TLS certificate by default, hence browsers will show a warning until it is replaced by a TLS certificate from by a trusted public certificate authority.
Bug fixes
- DietPi-Config: Resolved an issue where enabling the waveshare32 LCD panel failed on Raspberry Pi with new kernel/firmware stack. Many thanks to @guiksign for fixing this bug: MichaIng/DietPi!7462
- DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Resolved an issue where changing the config.php from within the web UI and storing covers did not work due to missing permissions. Many thanks to @praveensg for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/22993
- DietPi-Software | FreshRSS: Resolved an issue where the website did not work properly on Bullseye systems, since FreshRSS v1.25.0 and later requires PHP 8.1+. On those systems, the latest v1.24.3 will be installed instead. Many thanks to @kaferenza for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/23129
