This version has been released on Saturday, July 31, 2021.
This version is considered a maintenance and feature release.
Continuing the forward momentum with rewriting the core commands and setting the stage for v3, this release contains a lot of Feature Requests as well as some essential patches to various application builds. To list out in ease the Feature Requests in this release, they are:
- New Applications included:
- Prowlarr – Prowlarr is a indexer manager/proxy built on the popular arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required. To learn more about Prowlarr, check our the GitHub Repository at https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr/.
- Autoscan – Autoscan replaces the default Plex and Emby behavior for picking up file changes on the file system. Autoscan integrates with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Google Drive to fetch changes in near real-time without relying on the file system. To learn more about Autoscan, check our the GitHub Repository at https://github.com/Cloudbox/autoscan.
- New Dashboard UI/CLI features included:
- Feature to backup/restore/edit application configuration files from your dashboard!
- This feature allows you to edit certain application’s configuration files directly from the Dashboard. Note: apps available for editing, backing up and restoring are currently limited to those with configuration files located in the users home directory.
- Modals on the Dashboard are now resizable.
- Application Dashboard and Service Control Panels are now better at handling responsiveness across various screen sizes.
- Feature to backup/restore/edit application configuration files from your dashboard!
Along with the new features there are a number of enhancements and fixes bundled in. Many of these are simply keeping up with the recent developments of the Applications themselves, however, some are to improve the overall functionality of the applications and QuickBox environment. These range from rewriting the packages to comply with the upcoming v3 code standards to setting better locations to adhere with a more suitable file hierarchy to avoid conflicts and to keep directories tidy.
Of course there is more!
