Hotfixes
  • Fix Docker update alert delay tracking across host identity churn (#1226)
    Update-delay timers now persist for the same underlying container/host identity even when Docker host IDs change, preventing alert delay resets.

  • Fix automatic discovery refresh not running for changed/stale resources (#1225)
    Discovery loop now performs refreshes for resources detected as changed or stale, instead of only collecting fingerprints.

  • Fix temperature readings dropping to 0°C with string sensor values (#1224)
    Temperature parsing now correctly handles normal string values (for example "45.0" and "+45.0°C") and millidegree strings without erroneously scaling valid Celsius values down.

  • Restore add/edit URL controls for VM/LXC rows in Dashboard (#1221)
    Guest URL add/edit/remove actions are available again directly in table rows.

  • Honor legacy env var aliases for Docker update-action hiding (#1219)
    In addition to PULSE_DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS, legacy aliases are now accepted:
    DISABLE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS, PULSE_HIDE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS, HIDE_DOCKER_UPDATE_ACTIONS.
