Bug Fixes

• General Resolved an issue where on some SBCs old initramfs images were not cleaned up.
• Raspberry Pi Resolved an issue where some I2C and SPI device drivers were not loaded. Many thanks to @f-laurens and others for reporting this issue: MichaIng/DietPi#5789
• DietPi-CloudShell | Pi-hole Fixed stats with recent Pi-hole version as the port file is not used anymore. Many thanks to @oradke for reporting this issue: MichaIng/DietPi#5810
• DietPi-Drive_Manager Resolved an issue where it was not possible to disable the swap file with less than 2 GiB available free space on that drive. The check was meant to prevent the creation of a swap file with limited free space, while disabling/removing a swap file should of course always be possible. Furthermore the 2 GiB free space requirement has been removed completely, which has no point on non-system drives and is too strict even on system drives which, depending on the setup, can run fine with much less free space. Many thanks to @symbios24 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5749#issuecomment-1257169750
• DietPi-Software | FreshRSS Resolved an issue where the install failed because of changed branches on the GitHub repository. Many thanks to @baptiste313 for reporting this issue: MichaIng/DietPi#5767
• DietPi-Software | Roon Bridge Resolved an issue where the internal updater failed because of insufficient permissions. Many thanks to @Tristan_Harward for reporting this issue: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-bridge-on-dietpi-impossible-to-update-from-build-164-to-167-resolved-by-dan-knight-dietpi-creator/52303/80
