ZimaOS v1.7.0 Release: The NAS Rabbit Hole Starts Here!

Announcements
44

First of all, thank you again for taking the time to test the 1.7.x releases so thoroughly and for documenting the issues in such detail.

We have always believed that system stability is the foundation of everything we do. In fact, the main focus of 1.7.1 is bug fixes and stability improvements, with no new features being introduced at this stage.

Let me go through the current status of the issues you mentioned:

  1. Source folder becoming empty after moving a folder
    This has been fixed in 1.7.1 Beta 1.

  2. Text cursor being difficult to see in Dark Mode
    This has also been fixed in 1.7.1 Beta 1.

  3. CPU power monitoring disappearing on AMD Ryzen systems
    We are currently investigating this. If we confirm there is an issue, we will make sure it is fixed before the official release.

  4. Dashboard information, shortcuts, or web links disappearing after the update
    My colleague Dina has been following up on this issue with you. Based on our investigation so far, it does not appear to have been caused directly by the 1.7.0 update, and it seems the issue has not occurred again since then. We will continue to keep an eye on it:

  5. Installed Docker applications disappearing from the UI +

  6. Installed applications such as NextExplorer no longer appearing in the UI
    Currently, this mainly affects Docker containers installed manually through the command line, which are not automatically displayed in the ZimaOS WebUI. For now, you can add a Web link in the WebUI as an entry point. Our product team is also rethinking how externally installed applications should be recognized and managed by ZimaOS in the future.

  7. Upgrade reliability and preservation of existing user configurations
    This has always been one of our long-term goals, and we will continue improving it. For a NAS operating system, we fully agree that upgrades should preserve existing configurations, shortcuts, and workflows without disrupting how the system was being used.

We completely understand why you would prefer a release focused on stability and fixes. That is exactly the direction of 1.7.1: prioritizing issues that affect everyday reliability rather than simply adding more features.
