@@ -22,6 +22,8 @@ Changes / Improvements / Optimisations:
 - DietPi-Software | Webmin: Install is now done via official APT repository to allow easier updates. To apply this to all systems, it is reinstalled on DietPi-Update to v6.26. Additionally the dependency on rsyslog has been removed. The Webmin logging panel still depends on rsyslog, but the overhead shall not be applied to all systems by default. Instead users can now decide themselves, whether they need to see system logs on Webmin, or not, and in case apply custom logging settings as well.
 - DietPi-Software | Amiberry: Enabled support for RPi4 and Odroid XU4. Thanks to @midwan for providing the binaries: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3104
 - DietPi-Software | myMPD: Updated install steps to avoid deprecations of the current upstream version. As well the service will not run as primary group "dietpi" anymore, which is only required for software that creates media files. Many thanks to @jcorporation (developer of myMPD) for providing this information as well as a smooth build script that updates old instances gracefully: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3097
+- DietPi-Software | WiFi Hotspot: Since on some systems, a hostapd service mask was found, it is now unmasked on install. As well our custom compiled binaries are now only installed on RTL8188C* devices where no special Realtek hostapd package is available. Many thanks to @symbios24 for reporting the service mask issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2962
+- DietPi-Software | Fail2Ban is not handled by DietPi-Services anymore, since the brute-force protection shall stay active during updates, installs, backups etc. The service is now started by systemd on boot and stays active until shutdown. Additionally on fresh installs the default jail.conf is optimised for the set "route" ban action: "blackhole" is now the route type, which does not send any respond to blocked requests.
 
 Bug Fixes:
 - General | Removed an obsolete OpenMediaVault cron job and binary that was leftover on at least one of our images (NanoPi NEO2) and is not part of the current OMV packages, thus save to remove in every case. Many thanks to @kt1024 for reporting this issue: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2994
