Changes

This release brings updates and fixes for all platforms, updating Linux kernel to the latest stable version and various system components. Bug causing problems with some USB-Serial convertes on Home Assistant Yellow and Raspberry Pi has been fixed. Several improvements have been done to improve experience when pairing BLE devices. Timezone configured in Home Assistant settings is now propagated to the operating system and used for instance when reading logs directly on the host. All users are recommended to update.

Pre-release

Changes

This release fixes intermittent problems with network connectivity caused by an upstream kernel regression introduced in 16.2.rc1 (issue #4265). Raspberry Pi boards and Home Assistant Yellow were not affected by this bug.

In case you have already updated to 16.2.rc1 and have problems downloading the update, revert to the previous OS version from CLI first using ha os boot-slot other.

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.
