  • Debian-based Linux (via apt package): requires apt package update (=>1.0.27)
  • Docker: requires image update (=>2022-07-08)
  • Synology DSM 7: requires package update via DSM Package Center (=>3.0.7)
  • If the new install / update process fails, it will automatically fallback to using the standard npm update method

Other Changes

• i18n: Improvements to Italian language translations (#1373)

Bug Fixes

• Backups: Fixed an issue that could prevent backups being created on Synology DSM due to not being able read the #recycle directory
• System: Set a 60 second timeout on the pre-start job to clean up stale temporary npm directories on Linux running via hb-service; this should fix the errors some users were seeing when the task took more than the 90 seconds systemd allows by default (#1371)
