Beta v9.0.1

(2024-01-18)

Breaking

  • The minimum Debian version supported by our scripts has been raised to Bullseye. Buster systems will be migrated to a dedicated branch automatically. We highly recommend affected systems to either flash a new image or upgrade to Debian Bullseye, following this guide: https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=811. Once the upgrade has been done, the update to DietPi v9 will be offered on next update ckeck or when running "dietpi-update".
  • The minimum DietPi version to support direct updates to DietPi v9 from has been raised to v7.0. Older systems will go through a two-stage process, being upgraded to DietPi v8.25 with a separate branch, and afterwards further to DietPi v9 via master branch if the Debian version requirement is met as well.

New images

  • Orange Pi Zero 3 | New images for the 1.5 GB RAM variant are now available for testing, before they are added to our download page soon: https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/testing/

Enhancements

  • Raspberry Pi | Further work has been done to better support the Raspberry Pi 5. Our firmware migration script to test it has been reworked to allow selecting/deselecting optional kernel packages, instead of always installing all of them: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/6676
  • DietPi-Banner | Instead of "Freespace", the "Disk usage" is now shown, including the total disk size and used percent. Many thanks to @Andr3Carvalh0 for implementing this change: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/6837
  • DietPi-Software | motionEye: Updated build dependencies for ARM and RISC-V, and switched to the recent pre-release from PyPI, instead of pulling from the repositories dev branch.
  • DietPi-Software | Moonlight (CLI/GUI): Moonlight has been enabled on Bookworm, as packages are now available.
  • DietPi-Software | Logitech Media Server: Re-enabled it for Bookworm and Trixie, now using the latest "stable nightly" builds instead of the "latest releases". Many thanks to @SteveInWA for informing us about the update: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/discussions/6847
