New features:
-
Wi-Fi support: You can now connect your Umbrel to Wi-Fi by going to Settings > WiFi and choosing your network. Wi-Fi can work alongside an existing Ethernet (wired) connection, or independently without it.

Bug fixes and enhancements:
- Networking: Switched to NetworkManager's internal DHCP client over dhclient to resolve network-related issues.
- Date & Time: Switched to systemd-timesyncd over ntpd for better time synchronization and automatic RTC updates.
- Safari progress bar fix: Resolved issues with the app install/update progress bar being buggy in Safari.
- Umbrel App Store description fix: Fixed the 'read less' button for long app store descriptions.
- Widget interaction: Widgets with buttons now expand on hover for easier interaction.
