6.0.0.220904 Available (5th Sept 2022)

[sub]

I've updated the NextPVR to the new NextPVR v6.0.0.220904 release.

This is the first version to be based on .NET 6, so I've decided to move the application version number to v6.x.x. Other than this updated .NET runtime version, this release is mainly focuses on bug fixes.

For users upgrading from a previous release, if the Settings web page appears blank, you may need to clear your browser's cache and/or use CRTL+F5 to force a reload of the web pages.

Linux users will need to download the updated deb file before upgrading. See https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid574376
