Changes
This Home Assistant OS release brings several updates and fixes for all platforms. A bug in systemd-journal-gatewayd causing high CPU usage when reading logs (e.g. Settings > Logs in the in the frontend) has been resolved. Additionally, an issue of unbootable Raspberry Pi 5 images when they are flashed from Windows has been fixed. All platforms, including Raspberry Pi, have received kernel updates to the latest stable versions. VDI images are now published for generic-aarch64 build to allow for easier resizing when used in VirtualBox on Apple silicon Macs. All users are recommended to update.
The Supervisor shipped with this Home Assistant OS version will enable IPv6 for Home Assistant Add-ons by default. Note that this does not apply to upgrades. If you want to enable IPv6, use ha docker options --enable-ipv6=true followed by a system reboot. See also home-assistant/supervisor#6029.
⚠️ Known issues
Some users have reported issues with USB-Serial converters on Home Assistant Yellow. The bug is possibly affecting also some USB-Serial converters connected to Raspberry Pi boards. In case you are affected, downgrade to OS 16.0 is recommended. See #4228 for details.
