    Raspberry Pi Desktop gains an optional dock and lower-memory background mode

    Raspberry Pi released optional desktop updates with an icon dock, graphical launcher, configurable widgets, editable shortcuts and improved screenshots. Disabling Active Desktop uses swaybg instead of the file manager to draw the background, reducing memory use.

    Update Raspberry Pi OS to try the dock or reduce desktop memory consumption on boards with less than 2 GB of RAM.

    GitHub Actions adds job- and workflow-level cache permissions

    GitHub Actions now supports a generally available cache-mode setting with read, write, write-only and none values. Job settings override workflow settings, and reusable workflows cannot receive broader cache access than their callers.

    Restrict cache writes in lower-trust workflows to reduce cache-poisoning exposure without disabling useful cache restores.

    Home Assistant Core 2026.10 will raise runtime errors when core integrations read deprecated multi-config-entry DeviceEntry properties; custom integrations receive warnings until Core 2027.10. Replacement singular config-entry attributes are available.

    Update custom integrations to use config_entry_id and config_subentry_id before the compatibility properties are removed.
