  • Add WebSocket support [449]
    WebSocket functionality has been added to enable real-time communication between system components. This improves the responsiveness of live dashboards and status updates.

  • CE firmware upgraded to OpenWrt 24.10.1 [853]
    The base firmware has been further upgraded to OpenWrt 24.10.1, offering enhanced hardware compatibility, improved stability, and better performance.

  • Add URL validation in the global settings [855]
    Validation logic has been enhanced to ensure that only valid and secure URLs are saved in global settings. This reduces misconfiguration.

  • Handle firmware upgrade status for CE/PE [859]
    Tracking of firmware upgrade processes has been improved, giving operators clear visibility into upgrade progress and failure status.

  • CI/CD: Preserve Docker Tags in SD-WAN Cloud [860]
    Fixed an issue where Docker tags were accidentally overwritten during CI/CD runs. Version checking has been implemented to ensure consistent deployment artifacts.

  • Allow case-insensitive backbone PE name search [864]
    Search for Backbone PE names has been made case-insensitive, which improves usability and search accuracy.

  • Add /0 prefix in PBR src/dst [898]
    Expanded PBR (Policy-Based Routing) prefix options to allow /0 masks (for broad routing/matching rules) for source and destination fields.

  • Separate jump host for China mainland and global [901]
    Region-specific jump hosts have been introduced to improve performance and meet regulatory requirements

  • Migrate Bing Maps to Azure Maps [942]
    Mapping services have been switched from Bing Maps to Azure Maps for improved accuracy and reliability.

  • Remove lo interface and add any IPs in VPN Server dropdown [978]
    VPN server selection has been simplified by removing the loopback interface and allowing any valid IP to be selected.

Bug Fixes​

  • Index 0 Out of Bound" in Get Spoke API [840]
    Fixed an exception that occurred when retrieving spoke device data without a default LAN subnet, ensuring reliable API data retrieval.

  • Fix build dependencies in CI pipeline [841]
    CI builds failing due to missing or outdated dependencies have been resolved, ensuring a stable and consistent build pipeline.

  • Global Settings URL field is missing validation [855]
    Proper frontend validation has been added to the Global Settings URL field to prevent invalid or malicious entries that could break platform functionality.

  • Revision ID Reset on Firmware Upgrade [859]
    Fixed an issue where revision IDs were inadvertently deleted during firmware upgrades. This ensures that configuration history and versions remain intact for auditing and rollback.

  • Save Button Not Enabled When Subnet Removed in CGW [862]
    Fixed UI behavior where the Save button in CGW (Cloud Gateway) was not responding properly. Users can now reliably save settings without repeated attempts.

  • SOCKS Proxy Not Working on OpenWrt PE [863]
    Fixed a bug where SOCKS proxy would silently fail on PE devices running OpenWrt. It now works reliably on all supported PE variants.

  • Search Fails on Capitalized Backbone PE Names [864]
    Improved search functionality to be case-insensitive, enabling device searches regardless of name capitalization.

  • LDAP Filter Input Validation Broken [877]
    The flawed validation logic for the ldalFilter field has been fixed, preventing incorrect rejection of valid filters. This ensures correct filtering behavior and easy configuration.

  • Missing "Save Config" button in VPN Authentication tab [878]
    Fixed a UI bug that incorrectly disabled the Save button in VPN server configuration despite valid inputs. This restores normal functionality for configuring VPN servers.

  • Fix the organizations’ devices tab to list devices [897]
    Restores the correct device list in the Organization Devices tab, corrects missing or empty results, ensuring that administrators can view and manage device inventories.

  • PBR Fails with 0.0.0.0/0 Prefix [898]
    Incorrect error logs have been removed for policy-based routing (PBR) rules using the 0.0.0.0/0 prefix, which is a common and now supported configuration.

  • PBR Rules with Src/Dst Ports Not Working [903]
    Fixed an issue where port-based PBR rules were being ignored. The rules now operate independently of the IP address, allowing for more effective policy-based routing.

  • CGW Ignored Domain Whitelist/Blacklist Traffic [909]
    Patched a firmware issue where DNS-based domain whitelisting/blacklisting was not applied properly in Cloud Gateway (CGW). Domain-based traffic filtering now works as intended.

  • Fix user status label in Edit User modal [918]
    Corrected incorrect user status display in the edit model, ensuring that administrators see accurate status information when making changes to accounts.

  • Fix bulk firmware update on firmware settings [921]
    Bugs in the bulk firmware update process have been fixed, ensuring that updates are applied consistently, which improves reliability for large deployments.

  • Fix default policy to disable input validation [934]
    Fixed an issue where input validation was behaving incorrectly under default policies, ensuring that policies are applied correctly without unwanted restrictions.

  • Fix spacing and save-config VPN issue [981]
    The gap and formatting errors that caused VPN configuration save failures have been fixed, allowing users to successfully update VPN settings without errors.
