Version 5.1 brings a couple of small bug fixes, plus Samba now builtin -- in 5.0 it had to be installed via the "pkg" icon (PKGget package manager).

Two more updates today:
=> ↺ AppImage Installer bug-fix and more apps
When the Installer installs an .AppImage file, it creates a folder /files/apps/, for example /files/apps/audacity. This is a convenience, the app can be set to save files in this folder.
However, the Installer creates the folder, for example 'audacity' with owner:group = root:root, which means that Audacity does not have permission to write into that folder. Auadacity is running as user 'audacity', so this is the fix:
=> ↺ AppImage Installer simplified info window
There are some snapshots of the AppImage Installer here:
There are changes in the first window, including now shows size of each AppImage.
The final information window contains details that might not interest non-technical users. In fact, I received an email informing me of that fact. That last information window can be simplified.
A new version released:
=> ↺ Global IP TV Panel bumped to 2023MK3
