  • Module Versions Display

    The "About" page now displays version information for all software modules. This update improves system transparency, enabling administrators to quickly verify versions of individual components. It helps with troubleshooting and ensures that all modules are up-to-date.

    Documentation: About Page​

  • Email/Password Config Update

    Global email and password configurations have been updated to strengthen security protocols. Advanced configuration allows administrators to enforce stronger password policies and improve reliability of email delivery. This update improves system security and usability for end users.

  • Improved Log Levels

    Log levels have been expanded to offer more detailed system-level logging, enhancing troubleshooting and diagnostics. Administrators can now capture detailed logs, enabling rapid root-cause analysis of issues. This update also supports proactive system monitoring and error detection.

    Documentation: Logs​

  • Persistent Table Grid Filters

    Table grid filters, such as AP status (eg, online/offline), now persist when navigating between pages. This improves user experience by maintaining filter settings and reducing the need to frequently reapply filters. It streamlines data analysis and simplifies AP monitoring workflows.

  • UI Build Process Improvements

    The UI project build process has been optimized to accommodate runtime configuration for UI variables. This reduces deployment time and ensures a more efficient build process. Improvements result in faster UI updates and easier integration into existing systems.

Bug Fixes​

  • SSID Authentication for Hotspot Clients

    Fixed an issue where SSID authentication failed for hotspot clients when the SSID contained special characters. This fix ensures seamless authentication across all SSIDs, improves client connectivity, and reduces authentication errors.

  • Whitelisted Domains in Hotspot

    Fixed a bug that prevented adding whitelisted domains longer than 32 characters to hotspot configurations. The system now accepts longer domain entries, expanding flexibility in network security policies.

  • Hotspot Wi-Fi Client Deletion

    Fixed an issue where deleting a Wi-Fi client from the hotspot list was unresponsive. Administrators can now successfully remove hotspot clients, increasing client management efficiency.

  • Subnet Mask Issues in SSID Updates

    Addressed an issue regarding subnet mask settings when updating SSID configurations in root mode. Update ensures accurate handling of subnet masks during configuration changes, preventing misconfiguration.

  • Captive Portal Listing in SSID Creation

    Fixed a bug that prevented the Captive Portal option from appearing when enabled during SSID creation. Resolves these incompatibilities by ensuring that the captive portal can be configured correctly for the new SSID.

  • Android Device Connectivity

    Fixed an issue that prevented older Android devices from connecting to SSIDs using both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios. The fix ensures broad compatibility for legacy devices on dual-band networks.

  • Inconsistent Hotspot Client Behavior

    Fixed inconsistent behavior where hotspot clients were unable to access the captive portal login page. This fix improves captive portal functionality and ensures reliable client access.

  • Forgot Password Link

    Fixed an issue where the "forgot password" link in recovery emails failed to open. This ensures that users can access the password reset functionality without errors.

  • SSID Assignment Limits

    Fixed a bug where more than eight SSIDs were being assigned to a single radio, exceeding the system-defined limit. This update enforces the correct SSID assignments and prevents the radio from overloading.

  • Event Log Display

    Fixed an issue where event logs were not displayed in the log viewer. This fix ensures administrators have access to important logging information for system troubleshooting.

  • IPv6 Traffic in Wi-Fi Clients

    Fixed a bug that prevented IPv6 traffic from being accurately captured in Wi-Fi client logs. The system now properly logs and displays IPv6 traffic for better network visibility.

  • About Page Loading

    Fixed a loading issue affecting the "About" page on the Cloud Controller. The page now loads correctly, providing users with the necessary system and module information.

  • External Authentication Issues

    Fixed failures in external authentication when using GWC, ensuring seamless integration with third-party authentication services. This improves network security and access control management.

  • User Image Display

    Fixed an issue where user images were not displaying correctly in the user grid. This fix restores proper display functionality and improves the visual interface for user management.

  • AP Label Assignment

    Fixed a bug that prevented administrators from assigning labels to access points. This ensures proper labeling and organization of APs for efficient network management.
