Release Notes

This release fixes the memory leak caused by the UDPMux ICE agent and includes a few minor refactors and fixes in the agent.

Management

• Fix memory leak that caused long running agents to consume hundreds of MBs of RAM.
  Update pion/ICE and its dependencies (#703)

Agent

• Fix nil pointer exception in error handling (#696)
• Fix nil pointer exception in config parser (#702)
• Fix error handling in Stop/Start functions (#699)

Release Notes

This release marks a switch to peer management where we are introducing the use of peer IDs instead of Peer.Key which will facilitate the implementation of other security features, like peer public key rotation. With the change, the service will perform a storage migration to generate the IDs for existing peers at the startup, and there is a compatibility requirement between the Dashboard and the management service, and we ask everyone to update both systems.

Breaking changes

• Management service requires Dashboard v1.7.0 for full compatibility

Management

• Check if the peer name changes before updating labels (#658)
• Simplify event storing with one generic method (#662)
• Add more activity events (#663)
• Use ID instead of public Key as peer identifier (#664)
• Support custom id claim for user identification (#667)
• Add GetPeer API method (#670)

Client

• Use product Version instead of kernel version for MacOS (#666)
• Revert preshared-key shorthand flag (#671)
• Refactor Management and Admin URL config (#674)

Dashboard

• Use ID token payload when oidcUser is nil (https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/pull/127)
• Handle additional activity events (https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/pull/128)
• Feat add custom id claim (https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/pull/129)
• Use peerID in the Routes view (https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/pull/130)

• @tcskiran made their first contribution in (#666)

Release Notes

With this release, NetBird records user configuration changes in an account, providing better visibility to configuration changes made by other administrators. In the initial release of the feature, we are recording the following:

• User signup
• User invite
• Group membership updates
• Setup Key updates
• Access Rule updates
• Peer addition and deletion
• DNS Settings updates

We will be adding new events in the subsequent releases.

Another enhancement is the DNS settings feature. With that, users can disable DNS management for peers in configured groups. This is very useful for managing the local resolver status of peers with external DNS services.

The client has 3 new flags for the up command:

• --dns-resolver-address allows users to specify a listening address for their local resolver. E.g., netbird up --dns-resolver-address 127.0.0.1:5353
• --external-ip-map allows users to specify 1:1 Nat IP addresses. This is very useful for cloud instances where 1:1 is more common. E.g., netbird up --external-ip-map 52.43.0.200
• --foreground-mode replaces the old behavior with --log-file console for running the agent in foreground mode. E.g., netbird up --foreground-mode || netbird up -F

We added a link to another fantastic community project to our Readme file, Netbird Installer, is maintained by @physk and allows for easy single-line installation.
