SparkBox patches — Sat Oct 31, 2026
Posted by Chris
SparkBox releases shipped on Sat Oct 31, 2026 (UTC), in order, newest at the bottom. This thread is updated as releases land during the day. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. Legend boxes get every release the day it ships; free boxes get it after it has run there for a week. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply below with the app name, what you expected, and what happened instead. Earlier days: Fri Oct 30, 2026 · Thu Oct 29, 2026 · Wed Oct 28, 2026 · Tue Oct 27, 2026 · Sun Oct 25, 2026 · Wed Oct 21, 2026 · Tue Oct 20, 2026 v1.7.13 — Calmer phone notifications, and downloads that pick well-shared copies - Phone notifications are calmer: one at a time, repeats grouped, and 'fixed itself' messages no longer pile up. - The dashboard fits phone screens better: no sideways scrolling, and buttons are easier to tap. - Downloads now prefer well-shared, sensibly sized copies and swap out ones that get stuck. See Media → How downloads are picked. - The checkup no longer tells home servers they're on the public internet. v1.7.14 — Matrix chat and AI chat no longer get stuck offline after a restart or update - Matrix chat no longer gets stuck offline after a restart or update when another app grabbed its network address (same fix for AI chat's Ollama). - Matrix chat and Local AI no longer stay stopped after an app update backs them up. - AdGuard, Home Assistant and Frigate get the same fix, so a restart can't leave them stuck either.
