# [2.0.9.108\_canary\_2024-10-03](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/releases/tag/v2.0.9.108_canary_2024-10-03) This release is a canary release intended to be used for testing in preparation of a later stable release. **Unlike regular canary builds, this one has a major change in the build system, so it now runs on .NET8.** For that reason, the updater in previous canary builds does not detect this update yet, but this can be activated at a later time. The builds are self-contained so Mono or .NET installations are not required to install. **Important changes from last Beta** - Updated to .NET8 with OS specific builds - Using Kestrel as the API/UI server - Mandatory password and new authentication scheme for server - Settings database version updated to v8 Please see list of known issues related to .NET8/Kestrel upgrade: > **[Followup .NET8 canary • duplicati](https://github.com/orgs/duplicati/projects/2)** > > Followup .NET8 canary # New tool to manage a running server Due to incompatibility with `duplicati_client` a new tool is included, named `Duplicati.CommandLine.ServerUtil.exe`/`duplicati-server-util`. # Upgrade from `v2.0.9.105` If you are upgrading from 2.0.9.105 please see the release notes from 2.0.9.106 for how to prepare the database. Upgrades from other versions do not need special steps. # New experimental UI This version features a new more modern UI based on Angular18 🎉 Not all features are implemented just yet, so the new UI is not yet default. The curious ones can try it by visiting `http://localhost:8200/theme.html` (or similar). ## Detailed list of changes: - Added export feature to server-util - Default to using .NET built-in Zip code for performance improvements - Added `/health` healthcheck API to server + server-util - Removed unuspported use of `Thread.CurrentCulture` - Removed unsupported use of `Environment.OSVersion` - Removed support for piped download as it was slow and caused hangs - Fixed an issue with multi-instance detection that caused crashes - Added a new experimental UI - Added support for enabling remote control --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/release-2-0-9-108-canary-2024-10-03/19073)._
