These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.742 — The first hour after an install or update gets an honest verdict, and the support asks show the work behind the price - After 'sudo sparkbox up', 'sudo sparkbox update' or an install, SparkBox now ends with one honest sentence about your box instead of 'dashboard up': how many apps are running and healthy, or that the box itself is overloaded (and not to restart apps), or which apps failed their check, or that the dashboard cannot save a sign-in. The dashboard shows the same verdict as a banner until the next clean one, and 'sudo sparkbox verify' gives it again any time. - The setup wizard measures your box's memory before you pick a preset and tells you when Media or Full would not fit (with Essentials suggested, and a note for ARM boxes), instead of letting every app fail its health check afterwards. You can still apply anyway. - The support cards show the real work behind the ask — releases and fixes shipped in the last 30 days, and how many people back SparkBox — and appear at a moment that earned it, such as right after an update fixed something, at most once a month. Priority private support is named as a Legend perk. - A private ticket filed while the support relay is being repaired now says so and points you to the forum meanwhile, instead of failing without a word; a doctor run approved from a ticket reports 'found N issues' rather than a number. - Staged releases now ramp from 10 % to 50 % to everyone on evidence from boxes actually running the new version, even when those boxes are quiet. - When a site-wide sale is running, the support cards show the sale price and the discount is applied at checkout; a Legend bought with any discount (a referral, or a sale) is always recognised by our purchase webhook. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply here. Include your SparkBox version and what you see; leave passwords and licence keys out.
