Release week 21 (DietPi v7.2 release) #494

I deployed it to test URL. Looks great, but only one issue: The Firefox change has or can be misinterpreted:
By doing this, the browser will be installed only when a desktop is installed. It's like the webserver preference where a webserver will only be installed, when another software title requires one. So the only thing that has changed is that instead of having always Firefox installed, when a desktop got selected (or pulled as dependency for e.g. a VNC server), now you can choose whether Firefox, Chromium or no browser will be installed. It is not a "install this browser now" selection, like for file server, SSH server or logging system. If this got misinterpreted, maybe we should rephrase the changelog and dietpi.txt entries to be clear about that? Because clarifying how the preference system works was something that was addressed together with that change, or should have been. Currently we have in
and in
I think dietpi.txt is pretty clear, but the changelog entry is probably too complicated. Any suggestions to make this clearer? For the desktop preference:

+ Renamed "EmonPi" to "emonHub". The "emonPi" is the addon board hardware while our software option is the data collector backend which collects data from the emonPi, processes and sends it to frontends, like the emonCMS web interface, provided as public instance emoncms.org which is used by default. Making this clear by correct naming helps avoid confusing and allows us to implement emonCMS as local web interface as well. This was planned once but dropped as it lead to heavy regular disk writes. This however can be avoided by using Redis as RAM-based storage, which makes a local emonCMS attractive again to avoid relying on a public provider and regular public network connectivity. + Make clear that while we do not configure any other frontend or LCD screen by default (which is part of the all-in-one package with SBC + emonPi + LCD + case + OS image), everything can be setup manually, of course. OpenEnergyMonitor provides installer scripts for everything, if needed. + Add official docs, guides and source code links

@MichaIng - good point on Firefox. Please update it as needed. Many thanks ;) |
[ImgBot] Optimize images
And try to enhance wording for both preference options to hopefully better clarify how they work. Also links from software names to the related docs have been added.
