Full changelog
Hi all :wave:
This release focuses on low-level efficiency and expanding hardware support through some amazing contributions from you, the community.
A major addition in this version is DEEP_SLEEP support (thanks to @legionGer for help), which specifically targets high CPU usage by allowing the system to idle more effectively. For those running on low-power hardware or larger home labs, this should result in a much lighter footprint (~50% less) and better overall system resource management.
The plugin ecosystem is also growing thanks to several PRs. We now have a Fritz!Box plugin (by @sebingel) and a critical fix for the Omada Controller 6.2.x+ (by @xfilo), which had previously broken due to vendor API changes. Grateful to see the community stepping in to maintain these integrations. :muscle:
I’ve also addressed some annoyances. For instance, sorting in the Network view is now numerical instead of alphabetical, so IP addresses now appear in the correct order. I also fixed a bug where DBCLNP wasn’t cleaning up AppEvents and Plugins_History, which is critical for keeping the SQLite database performant. Other improvements include better filtering logic for flapping statuses and a new Parent node filter to help manage more complex network hierarchies.
Thanks to everyone who contributed code, fixes, and translations for this release. See more details below.
