+# May 20, 2026 - App install script v4, New app curations, Curation beta program
+
+## Introducing our V4 installation scripts.
+
+This new iteration of app install scripts has a focus of improving application stability.
+
+- We have updated our curation process to reduce the likelihood of bugs in curated apps.
+- We are now automatically creating temporary snapshots prior to updating applications.
+     - This will help eliminate the chances of apps with breaking updates damaging your data.
+- We have also implemented a system that will heal permissions modified in TrueNAS.
+     - Modified permissions in TrueNAS previously could have unintended consequences such as preventing curated app installation.
+
+
+
+## App Curations

+We have committed to doubling our curations over the next few months, starting with these 6 releasing today.
