Good morning. This is your Frigate NVR Updates for May 28th, 2026.

Yesterday saw significant development activity with four merged pull requests totaling over 1,100 lines of code changes.

Josh Hawkins merged the runtime state restoration feature, adding 676 lines across 11 files. This enhancement allows Frigate to restore its operational state when restarting, including profile configurations and system settings. The implementation includes a new runtime state module and comprehensive test coverage.

Hawkins also merged a new live streams widget, contributing 383 lines to improve the web interface configuration experience. The widget provides better management of live stream settings with internationalization support and updated documentation.

Ban921 merged support for Traditional Chinese language selection. While the zh-Hant translations were already 98% complete and synced from Weblate, users couldn't access them through the interface. This fix registers the locale properly in the language selector and maps it to appropriate date formatting.

The miscellaneous fixes pull request addressed several system issues. Key improvements include resolving hardware acceleration configuration problems, implementing automatic timeout for debug replay sessions after 12 hours, and enhanced error handling for Intel GPU statistics. The changes also include documentation updates and troubleshooting improvements.

Additional commits refined the implementation of these features and ensured proper integration across the codebase.

What's next: These changes focus on system reliability and user experience improvements. The runtime state restoration should significantly improve system behavior after restarts, while the interface enhancements make configuration more accessible to international users.

That's your Frigate development update. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from the repository.
