EasyOS Excalibur-series version 7.1.3 released

Version 7.1.2 was released on January 2nd:

• EasyOS Excalibur-series version 7.1.2 — January 02, 2026

Changes since 7.1.2 have been accumulating, so time for a new version. I've been a bit preoccupied with other things; however, have popped into the forum most days and had a quick look. I might have missed some reported issues or suggestions, when building 7.1.3, so do remind me afterward.

Anyway, here they are, changes since 7.1.2:

• NVME idle timeout at bootup — January 25, 2026
• Midnight Commander has multiple entries in menu — January 24, 2026
• Strange Debian package renaming — January 24, 2026
• Tweak updating db when PKGget starts — January 24, 2026
• fstrim detect fix — January 24, 2026
• Kernel 6.12.64 compiled — January 12, 2026
• Help button in BootManager doesn't work — January 08, 2026
• virt-manager works in EasyOS — January 07, 2026
• Aqemu orange-ball supposed to run as root — January 06, 2026
• Another fix for drive read speed test — January 04, 2026
• The mysterious missing libscalar-list-utils-perl — January 03, 2026

Quite a lot of stuff has happened, despite me being distracted elsewhere!
