Today we are happy to release OpenMediaVault version 1.0 (Kralizec).

The main features at a glance:

OMV 1.0 is based on Debian 7 Wheezy

Better support for weaker systems (i.e. Raspberry Pi, Cubieboard, Cubox, etc)

Nginx (instead of Apache2) for the WebGUI

Dashboard with support for widgets

Systems can be put into standby mode

Improved infrastructure for plug-ins

And much more…

Excerpt from the changelog:

Debian 7 (Wheezy)

Improvements regarding performance on slower systems (Raspi, …). The list of updates and plugins are indexed, that is, the search for new updates or plugins will not be launched each time when the user invokes the WebGUI to.

File systems on non-rotating drives are with the mount option ‘discard’ hooked (ext3, ext4, btrfs, vfat, jfs, xfs).

Infrastructure improvements for plugins

Systems can be put into standby mode (hybrid suspend / STB, Suspend to disk / STD, Suspend to RAM / STR). There, the mode is automatically selected which is supported by the system. Priority is STB, STD, STR.
