This is a bug fix release, resolving a nice collection of problems reported by the community, details below. All users are encouraged to read the release notes and upgrade.
Upgrade steps for this release
As always, prior to upgrading, create a backup of your USB flash device: "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup".
Update all of your plugins. This is critical for the Connect, NVIDIA and Realtek plugins in particular.
If the system is currently running 6.12.0 - 6.12.6, we're going to suggest that you stop the array at this point. If it gets stuck on "Retry unmounting shares", open a web terminal and type:
umount /var/lib/docker
The array should now stop successfully
If you have Unraid 6.12.8 or Unraid Connect installed:
Open the dropdown in the top-right of the Unraid webgui and click Check for Update. More details in this blog post
If you are on an earlier version:
Go to Tools -> Update OS and switch to the "Stable" branch if needed. If the update doesn't show, click "Check for Updates"
Wait for the update to download and install
If you have any plugins that install 3rd party drivers (NVIDIA, Realtek, etc), wait for the notification that the new version of the driver has been downloaded.
Reboot
