Version 6.5.0 2018-03-13

The primary purpose of this release is to update the Linux kernel to the latest version which completes mitigation for Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities. In addtion we have updated a number of base packages, made several UI improvements, especially in the VM and Docker Managers, and fixed a number of bugs.

Due to security updates all users are encouraged to update.

Summary:

• For new installations, we now reference Google public NTP servers instead of pool.ntp.org.
• Updated linux kernel includes more patches related to Meltdown/Spectre.
• Refreshed base packages to latest versions.
• We added a workaround for Safari to display CPU Load Statistics correctly.
• Resident network guru bonienl continues to make networking refinements:
  • Fixed default gateway with different metrics. Now same gateway with multiple metrics properly set up
  • Fixed route_up and route_down functions. Now adding and removing routes handles IPv6 link local addresses and it is allowed to add the same route multiple times with different metric and interface.
  • Routing table shows interface name too with default routes
  • Network settings page is updated thru a websocket (/sub/dhcp), this ensures info is always present. Another nice advantage of websockets.
  • Cleanup of network.cfg file. Only necessary settings are stored. This greatly reduces the number of entries.
  • Some fixes in the network settings page itself, better user experience.
  • IPv6 routes have their own metric value, can be set independently of IPv4
  • Docker fixes for custom networks
  • Some code cleanup
• Another nice feature added by bonienl is the ability to downgrade to the previous unRAID-OS release.
• Upgraded noVNC. This is very much improved, give it a try!
• Other misc. bug fixes.
