[sairon]

Changes

Home Assistant OS 17.2 brings Buildroot 2025.02.12, Docker v29.2.1, and various reliability improvements. Wi-Fi powersave is now disabled by default for all connections to improve wireless stability. The number of DNS queries from connectivity checks has been reduced, and sets foundation to allow the Supervisor more time for graceful shutdown during system power-off. The Linux kernel has been updated to the latest stable version across all targets. This is the last planned release of 17.x series using the Linux kernel 6.12. All users are encouraged to upgrade.
