SMHUB-OS v1.0.0.beta2

Beta 2 is all about stability and recovery. It introduces the Recovery Console, fixes reboot bugs, polishes the dark theme, and lays the groundwork for the ultra-lightweight PicoClaw AI assistant on the hub.

✨ New Features

  • Recovery Console — download logs and backups directly from the smhub-flasher recovery console, to safely rescue data from an unbootable device before a factory reset.
  • Dynamic ports — moved stunnel to proper OpenRC scripts and adjusted the config to reliably handle dynamic port assignments from an app-provided schema.
  • PicoClaw support 🦀 — system support for running the ultra-lightweight PicoClaw personal AI assistant on-device (installable from the apps page).
  • Dark theme 🌑 — the frontend UI now features a beautifully polished dark theme.

🔧 Bug Fixes

  • Reboot reliability — safer power-down of USB/networking during a restart, preventing occasional freezes.
  • Boot stability — automatic filesystem check (fsck) for the MISC partition during early boot to prevent startup halts after OTA updates.
  • Log permissions — fixed permissions/ownership on several system log files (e.g. dmesg).
  • Package management — clarified the Python virtual package description for cleaner opkg status reporting.
  • Backups — restored the missing xz package that broke backup restore in beta1.

Note to beta testers: check out the new smhub-flasher — for a Type-C re-install it completely replaces the old tools.
