Add 7.1.0 release notes #258
Conversation
WalkthroughThe release notes for Unraid version 7.1.0 have been updated to document the transition from a beta release (7.1.0-beta.4) to a release candidate (7.1.0-rc.1). Beta-specific language has been removed across sections including storage, networking, VM Manager, and WebGUI. The document also details updates to various package versions and the addition of new packages, while clarifying instructions such as wireless networking setup that now requires an initial wired connection.

🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
docs/unraid-os/release-notes/7.1.0.md (6)
23-39: Revised Storage Section and Mover FixesThe “Storage” section is now split into general storage updates and “Other storage changes,” making it easier for users to understand the fixes. The bullet points detailing fixes (including issues with disabled disks, spin down settings, and the mover functionality—such as handling hard link recreation and hanging on named pipes) are clearly laid out. Please double-check that these grouping changes align with your documentation standards.

Context: ...ver would fail to recreate hard link if parent directory did not already exist. * Fi...(AI_EN_LECTOR_MISSING_DETERMINER_THE)
42-45: Networking Section Enhancement for Wireless SupportThe update introduces a dedicated “Networking” section with a subheading for “Wireless Networking.” This improvement highlights the new WiFi support. As a minor nitpick, consider using “hard‐wired” (with a hyphen) instead of “hard wired” for consistency with standard compound adjective usage.
79-86: Enhancements in Other Networking ChangesThis section now better explains several network configuration improvements—including DNS settings adjustments, added interface details via an Info button, automatic removal of obsolete interfaces, and fixes for DHCP issues. One suggestion: consider adding a comma before “so there are no conflicts” in the sentence about additional gateways to improve readability.

88-104: VM Manager Updates and Driver OptionsThe VM Manager portion now clearly delineates updated subsections such as “Nouveau GPU driver”, “VirGL”, “QXL Virtual GPUs”, and notes on optional CPU pinning. A couple of minor points:
- In the Nouveau GPU driver section, a comma after “included” may improve the readability of the sentence.
- In the VirGL instructions, consider rephrasing the sentence (e.g., reviewing the preposition use and punctuation) for enhanced clarity.

1-1: Version and Release Date UpdateThe version line now correctly reflects the new release candidate (“7.1.0-rc.1”) along with the updated date (2025-04-11). Please ensure that all cross-references (in documentation or links) are updated accordingly.
9-11: Clarification in Plugins Upgrade InstructionsThe “#### Plugins” section now clearly instructs users to upgrade all plugins, with specific emphasis on Unraid Connect and the Nvidia driver. This change improves clarity by replacing previous beta-specific warnings.
61-61: Firmware Files Copy UpdateThe added note regarding firmware files being copied from
/boot/config/firmware/to/lib/firmware/before the driver modules are loaded is useful for informing users about the boot process.
71-71: Docker Network Configuration ClarificationThe new bullet clarifying that a Docker container’s Network Type cannot use br0/bond0/eth0 is an important detail to avoid misconfiguration. Verify that any related Docker documentation is updated to reflect this constraint.
126-126: Additional VM Change NoticeThe “Other VM changes” section now warns users that when the Primary GPU is used for passthrough, a compatible vBIOS is required. This precautionary note is clear; please ensure that users can find further details on resolving such issues if they encounter them.
154-159: Miscellaneous Fixes and ImprovementsThe miscellaneous section lists several important fixes—from preventing shutdowns when visiting boot.php to addressing memory utilization issues on the dashboard. The bullet points are succinct; just ensure that each fix provides enough context for users to understand the underlying benefit.
161-170: Linux Kernel Version and Feature UpdatesThe Linux kernel update to version 6.12.23 is well-documented, including new configuration options and feature support. This detailed list should help advanced users verify that their hardware is fully supported.
171-178: Enhanced Wireless Support in Linux KernelThe expanded wireless support now lists several chipset vendors (including the new entries like Microtek). This is a valuable addition for users relying on WiFi. Ensure that any compatibility notes (e.g., for older chipsets) are available elsewhere in your documentation if needed.
189-293: Base Distro Package Version UpdatesA comprehensive series of package updates—from core utilities (coreutils and diffutils) to critical libraries (libgpg-error, libvirt, openssh, openssl) and virtualization tools (qemu, spice, virglrenderer, virtiofsd)—has been incorporated. These version bumps are significant and should be verified for compatibility with the overall Unraid system and its plugins.

35-35: Clarify Storage Fix Description.
The fix note for resolving "Wrong pool State. Too many wrong or missing devices" is informative. Consider reviewing the casing (for example, using "Wrong Pool State") for consistency.
38-38: Improvement in Mover Fix Note.
For the note "Fix: mover would fail to recreate hard link if parent directory did not already exist," consider inserting the definite article ("the") before "parent directory" to enhance readability.

There appears to be a typo: "Fix various issued with DHCP." likely should be "Fix various issues with DHCP."
96-96: VirGL Feature Description.
The description detailing how VirGL enables sharing of Intel and AMD GPUs is clear. For enhanced readability, consider inserting a comma before "though" (e.g., "... using the Nouveau driver, though.") to improve the sentence flow.🧰 Tools
