This brings much joy, just updated to tos 6 and kavita (tos 5 build) refused to launch citing all manner of untruths.

We wait patiently for your update :geek:

Hi, I am trying to install the TOS5 0.8.6.2.0 x86_64.tpk but it has been hanging up on the Instillation part, it unzips ok and then you have to confirm that you are ok to install but then it just stalls and the progress bar doesn't do anything, am i just being impatient and it should take more than 10 mins to install?

Have you maybe tried to restart the NAS and try again the install process? It should not take more that 5 minutes after unziping
