Dear Volumionauts,
We are currently undergoing an infrastructure upgrade to support the upcoming Bookworm BETA, future stable releases, and continued ALPHA testing. As part of a broader internal discussion on the Volumio Roadmap, we have made a key decision regarding system architecture:
Partition Layout Redesign
To ensure long-term maintainability, the partition layout will be redesigned to accommodate at least three major future Volumio releases. This change is being introduced during the current ALPHA stage, making it the ideal moment for such a foundational update.
Important Note:
This new layout will require a full re-flash of your storage media once implemented.
Updated Minimum Storage Requirement
Due to the partition changes and upcoming system needs, minimum storage capacity is now set to 8GB.
ARMv6 Support Status
It is very likely that ARMv6 builds will be discontinued. We welcome any interest from community developers who may wish to take ownership of these legacy ports.
Plugin Development Alignment
Plugin developers are already freezing work on the legacy Buster branches and shifting focus to ensure compatibility with Bookworm going forward.
We will keep you updated with further technical details and timelines as they solidify.
Kind Regards,
