This release is based on RaspiOS Bullseye Lite (2022-01-28) and Linux kernel 5.15.y branch and includes important updates, improvements and bug fixes.

The release was generated using a new build system based on Debian package management that provides a simplified and more controlled process for installing and configuring moOde.

NOTE: This is an image-only release due to OS change to new RaspiOS Bullseye. Use the Backup/Restore option in System Config to transfer settings from existing systems to moOde 8.

NOTE: For those that are using Local UI there is still a memory consumption issue in chromium browser that causes all RAM to be eaten up after ~3 hours. As a workaround, Local UI is restarted every 2 hours in the maintenance task. The crew is investigating possible fixes including an alternative Browser for example luakit.
