Writeback Cleanup, and Native IPTVBoss Support

Two things landed that are worth a look. The System Dashboard's Hardware Health panel now has a Writeback cleanup card that catches a rare but nasty kernel condition - a writeback livelock that slowly wedges the box - and clears it with one click, no reboot, without touching a file that is in use. And IPTVBoss is now a native QuickBox app: install it from the dashboard, run it as an always-on Xtream Codes server that keeps your playlists and EPG in sync on its own, and route its upstream traffic through a VPN with app-scoped routing.

Hardware Health, and a Sharper System Dashboard

The System Dashboard is where an admin watches the box, and this release makes it a lot better at that job. A new Hardware Health panel reads your CPU, memory, and firmware straight from the kernel with nothing to install. The whole page is faster and finally works on a phone. The Updates Available table now shows APT and QuickBox updates - CLI core and Dashboard - in one place, and the changelog tells Core from Dashboard and lets you read what a pending update contains before you download it.
