Enhancements
IPv6 Connectivity Support
- Added full IPv6 handling for device connectivity, including applying IPv6 DNS and NTP servers, validating IPv6 configurations, collecting IPv6 ACL metrics, and resolving controller IPv6 addresses.
- Enhanced DHCPv6 and SLAAC support with upgraded `dhcpcd` (v10.1.0).
- Improved DNS resolver to handle AAAA records for IPv6.
- Added explicit firewall rules for DHCPv6 replies and IPv6 local table routing.
Cellular Networking
- ICMP-based cellular probes now work with an undefined host IP, using `8.8.8.8` as default when none is specified.
- Improved LTE attach configuration error reporting with more descriptive messages such as SIM absence or modem issues.
Hardware Support
- Kernel update to fix boot hangs on Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2.
- Added U-Boot driver to read and expose serial numbers from OTP memory on OnLogic FR201 devices.
- Updated Hailo TPU firmware to version 4.21.0 to support the latest TPU hardware.
Networking and Fallback Improvements
- Consolidated LastResort Device Port Config (DPC) handling into DPCManager for reliable fallback behavior.
- Fixed detection of network interface "down" state to accurately reflect cable disconnection in metadata.
Application Logging
- Corrected forwarding of application log-disable settings to ensure app logs can be disabled via configuration.
Storage Monitoring
- Fixed S.M.A.R.T. report temperature units, added missing NVMe temperature sensors, and improved SATA attribute naming to match `smartctl` output.
Cloud Storage SDK Updates
- Migrated to latest official Azure and AWS SDKs for application image downloads.
- Added IPv6 support for AWS datastore access.
Fixes (resolutions to customer reported bugs)
- Fixed Edge View proxy HTTPS handling by correctly writing HTTPs OK to clients.
- Corrected handling of WWAN modem assignment group to prevent overwriting with incorrect values.
- Addressed policy retrieval in Vault to avoid panics when policies are missing.
- Resolved incorrect simultaneous publication and removal of LastResort DPC that could leave devices offline.
Performance Improvements
- More aggressive pruning of obsolete DPC entries to prevent exceeding message size limits, avoiding potential reboot loops.
- Faster failover detection and rescheduling for Kubernetes workloads.
- Refactored controller connectivity logic for better structure and maintainability without changing functionality.
Other Changes
- Updated `monitor` to v0.5.0 with UI fixes and consistent controls.
