Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2169
- DietPi-Config | Added support for setting Xorg DPI scale.
- DietPi-Services| MariaDB: DietPi now uses the pre-installed “mariadb” systemd service instead of obsoleve “mysql” init.d service:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/pull/2196
- DietPi-Software | Nextcloud Talk video calls with configured TURN server is now available for install:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/pull/2197
- DietPi-Software | NAA Daemon: Added installation support for ARMv8 and x86_64. Thanks Jussi!

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2229

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2187#issuecomment-433626639
- DietPi-Software | SickRage: Is no longer available for installation. We will asses a replacement in v6.19. Sonarr is an excellent alternative with faster performance and stability.:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2239
- DietPi-Software | Docker: Now runs under ‘simple’ service type (previously ‘notify’), to prevent service start delay which can occur on ARM based devices (eg: RPi), from delaying other applications starting on the system:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2238#issuecomment-439474766
- DietPi-Software | Mosquito: Service updated to systemd:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2243
- DietPi-Software | Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr: logs (both .txt and .db*) have been moved to DietPi-RAMlog:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2223
- DietPi-Software | Pydio: WebUI warnings (security, performance) are now resolved for Nginx and Lighttpd webservers as well. Separate config files are created instead of touching the defaults, to enable required settings for Pydio only. Required PHP modules are installed and enabled, to be failsafe. Preserve existing install dirs on (re)install and inform user to update via WebUI updater:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1913
- DietPi-Software | Grafana: Existing database/plugin directory and admin password is now preserved on reinstall:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2267

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2219#issuecomment-437594645
- DietPi-Software | Roon Bridge: Resolved an issue where the remote update would fail due to underpriv permissions:
https://community.roonlabs.com/t/dietpi-allo-units-not-getting-the-roonbridge-b167-update-from-b164/52503/6

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2156
- DietPi-Software | Jackett: Resolved an issue where reinstall created an additional nested install dir. Thanks @msdos for reporting this issue:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2212
- DietPi-Software | RoonServer: Resolved an issue where reinstall created an additional nested install dir. Since RoonServer has an automated internal updater, download and install will be skipped, if install already exists.
- DietPi-Software | PHP/databases: Resolved an issue where PHP database modules were not installed, when installing a new database and PHP was already installed before.
- DietPi-Software | PHP: On Buster, moved to PHP7.3, since php-apcu and php-redis are not available for PHP7.2 any more. This resolves both PHP versions being installed concurrently.

https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/pull/2224
- DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where a global password with special characters lead to failing installs, due to missing escaping within our internal function G_CONFIG_INJECT. Thanks to @MistahDarcy for reporting this issue:
