June 2026 monthly summary focusing on the Unraid docs repository activities and the impact on installation experience for Community Applications plugin.

May 2026 (unraid/api) focused on improving onboarding reliability and security for plugin installations by routing installs through the central proxy ca.unraid.net/dl. Key changes prefix onboarding plugin URLs with the proxy path, ensuring install traffic is funneled through the same download proxy used by the organization. Frontend changes updated OnboardingPluginsStep.vue and OnboardingSummaryStep.vue, with corresponding test updates in OnboardingSummaryStep.test.ts. Backend validation remains compatible (http/https URLs ending in .plg are accepted) and existing installed-plugin detection logic is preserved. No breaking API changes; Tailscale alias support remains intact. The change enhances reliability, security, and consistency of plugin delivery during onboarding. CI/test readiness and manual onboarding validation steps are outlined for verification. Commit reference: 443227d6d795bad9dcbfb5b8ee00eb8ac8148d74

November 2025: Key stability improvement in unraid/api with a targeted remote access configuration fix. Implemented safer handling of optional parameters to eliminate PHP warnings in Management Settings, increasing admin reliability and reducing incident risk. The change is captured in commit 832e9d04f207d3ec612c98500a2ffc86659264e5, with release notes focusing on bug fixes and safer defaults. Result: fewer runtime warnings, more predictable remote access behavior, and overall system stability across configurations.

September 2025 (2025-09) focused on stabilizing the Unraid API experience by delivering a critical uninstall flow fix for the Unraid Connect plugin. The change defers plugin file deletion until user reboot on Unraid 7.2+, preventing boot-time PHP errors and indeterminate states after manual removal. This improvement reduces user confusion, lowers support risk, and enhances plugin lifecycle reliability. Related work is in unraid/api with commit d73953f8ff3d7425c0aed32d16236ededfd948e1 (fix: Connect won't appear within Apps - Previous Apps (#1727)).
