v1.16.12

Fixed

• Corrected malformed HTTP responses when empty local or NAS media files were requested.

v1.16.11

Fixed

• Day of the Dead now spans November 1–2 in the built-in calendar, matching the decorative overlay's two-day observance.
• Hanukkah appears across all eight calendar days instead of only the first day.
• Rosh Hashanah appears as a two-day observance.
• Ramadan covers the calculated Islamic month (29 or 30 days) instead of only its first day.
• Multi-day holiday events remain visible when they began before the current calendar window, including date ranges crossing month or year boundaries.
• Holiday date arithmetic uses local civil days to avoid one-day shifts around daylight-saving transitions.

Added and Improved

• Passover can be configured as seven days (Israel) or eight days (Diaspora), with eight days as the default built-in setting.
• Holy Week covers seven days from Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday.
• Sukkot covers seven days.
• Eid al-Adha covers four days.
• Kwanzaa spans December 26 through January 1.
• New Year's Eve has its own December 31 calendar entry to match the existing holiday overlay.
• Existing single-day holidays retain their existing single-day durations.
• Built-in holiday options remain individually controllable, and optional holiday add-ons remain disabled by default.

v1.16.10

Fixed

• Replaced holiday date selection based on the last weather API timestamp with the viewing browser's live local date.
• Fixed holiday decorations persisting beyond the end of the holiday when weather data had not refreshed overnight.
• Made the existing weather-overlay health check detect local calendar-day transitions and rebuild the scene without requiring a page refresh or a new weather download.
• Ensured the midnight refresh bypasses Raspberry Pi animation-repair cooldowns so expired holiday decorations are not held by the health timer.
• Preserved intentionally multi-day holiday dates, including New Year's Eve/New Year's Day and Day of the Dead, instead of dismissing them prematurely.

v1.16.9

Fixed

• Google Photos can display the first available image without waiting for the entire album to finish loading.
• Added automatic retries for transient background loading failures.
• Removed unnecessary first-image prewarming delays on Raspberry Pi displays.
• Prevented large albums with unavailable images from blocking startup through unbounded consecutive attempts.
• Improved recovery when network connectivity returns.

Improved

• Added bounded background retry scheduling that stops once a usable photo is visible.
• Preserved cached backgrounds and offline fallback behavior.
• Improved Backgrounds troubleshooting guidance.

v1.16.8

Added

• Google Photos background-quality settings: Automatic, 1080p, 1440p, 4K (3840×2160), and 8K (7680×4320).
• An 8K resolution request option for stock background photos, subject to source availability.
• A Backgrounds image-quality and screen-fit readout that reports the decoded image dimensions on the viewing browser.
• A Check displayed photo action and a clear warning when the background must be upscaled to fill the display.
• Automatic Google Photos size selection based on browser viewport dimensions and device pixel ratio.

Fixed

• Removed the prior fixed 1920×1080 Google Photos request that could deliver unnecessarily low-resolution images to 4K/8K displays.
• Raised the remote background-image-only proxy response allowance from the ordinary 25 MiB limit to 128 MiB by default, preventing large high-detail photos from being rejected solely due to size.
• Added a separate, bounded background-image proxy limit (DASHBOARD_MAX_BACKGROUND_IMAGE_BYTES), configurable up to 256 MiB.
• Kept large-image proxy cache handling separate from ordinary data feeds and restricted the higher-capacity path to image MIME types.

Docker and TrueNAS SCALE

• Verified that local/NAS media photos are transmitted over LibreDisplay's HTTP media endpoint without resizing, recompression, or byte changes.
• Verified full 3840×2160 and 7680×4320 image delivery, including byte-range responses.
• Documented mounting the NAS photo dataset into the container and selecting the container's /media path, rather than a TrueNAS host /mnt/... path.
• Documented the local media per-file allowance (100 MiB by default, configurable using DASHBOARD_MAX_MEDIA_FILE_BYTES).
• Clarified that the browser attached to the actual display must be configured for the intended 4K/8K output; image pixels alone cannot override the display's rendering resolution.

Background Presentation and Compatibility

• Preserved Cover/Contain fit modes, background position, rotation, and blur customization.
• Kept existing saved background settings intact; higher-resolution requests remain selectable rather than forced for everyone.

v1.16.7

Fixed

• Fixed Display Profiles refusing to save a new profile when Settings contained unsaved changes.
• Creating or updating a profile now saves and verifies the current dashboard settings without closing Settings.
• Fixed profile-name and profile-selection controls incorrectly marking the dashboard itself as changed.
• Prevented profile creation from capturing changes when dashboard persistence fails verification.

Improved

• New installations start with the Classic Home layout: a seven-day calendar across the top, current weather and clock at the bottom left, and daily and hourly forecasts across the bottom right.
• The layout is available in the layout preset gallery and remains fully customizable in Arrange.
• Existing saved layouts and configurations remain authoritative during upgrades and are not replaced by the new default.
• Expanded Display Profiles and starter-layout help.

v1.16.6

Fixed

• Fixed the one-line installer incorrectly treating incomplete installations as completed installations.
• Fixed interrupted installations directing users to the updater before initial setup had finished.
• Improved detection of incomplete and previously completed LibreDisplay installations.
• Corrected installation completion tracking.
• Improved installation retry behavior without requiring users to delete application files.
• Updated Raspberry Pi installation instructions and version references.

Improved

• Added safe recovery of recognizable interrupted installations.
• Preserved existing settings, media, and desktop configuration backups during installation recovery.
• Improved protection against overwriting unrelated directories or existing installations.
• Improved first-time installation guidance and troubleshooting instructions.

v1.16.5

Added

• Ready-to-paste TrueNAS SCALE installation configuration.
• Automatic first-time Owner enrollment codes in TrueNAS application logs.
• Guided initial Owner username and password creation.
• Persistent Owner account credentials for subsequent sign-ins.
• Automatic redirection to first-time setup on new TrueNAS installations.

Fixed

• Fixed the first-time TrueNAS experience asking users to sign in before an account existed.
• Removed the need to run container-shell commands during normal first-time Owner setup.
• Improved guidance for expired enrollment codes and existing installations.

Security

• No default username or password is provided.
• Creating the initial Owner account requires a valid, single-use enrollment code.
• Owner passwords require at least 12 characters.
• Passwords are stored using salted PBKDF2-SHA256 hashing.
• Existing installations cannot anonymously recreate initial Owner credentials.
• Raspberry Pi and standard Docker authentication behavior remains unchanged.

v1.16.4

Fixed

• Fixed a Docker first-run issue where users could encounter HTTP 403 errors when accessing LibreDisplay through a network browser.
• Updated the Docker installer to automatically generate a temporary, single-use Owner connection code.
• Added an Owner connection link to the installer output for easier first-time authentication.
• Improved Docker installation error handling and failure reporting.
• Improved compatibility with both prebuilt Docker images and local source builds.
• Corrected Docker installation, update, and recovery path handling.

Improved

• Added a source-build fallback when the prebuilt GitHub Container Registry image cannot be downloaded.
• Improved Docker installation guidance for TrueNAS users.
• Updated documentation for first-time Owner enrollment and authentication.
• Maintained compatibility with AMD64 and ARM64 Docker environments.

v1.16.3

Changed

• Moved Docker configuration files into the docker/ folder.
• Preserved existing installer, updater, and application locations.
• Updated Docker-related paths throughout installation, updates, and recovery.

Fixed

• Improved Docker installation error handling.
• Added a GitHub source-build fallback when the prebuilt Docker image is unavailable.
• Updated legacy Docker layout migration and rollback behavior.
