This new cutting edge release is supposed to be the final firmware release of the “classic” series bringing new features before moving to our “Next generation” firmware platform.
This release brings a lot of stability fixes to polish this firmware release for a long use cycle (until customers are upgrading to the NG firmware).
This release is fully compatible with the October 2nd 2014 stable firmware release. It is therefore OK to keep running the Stable Firmware release on VPN Hubs, and only update VPN Nodes that need the improvements listed here (or the ones from the December 11th 2014 cutting edge release). Please note that you need to install this firmware release for VDSL or “4G Europe II” modules to be supported.
Customers still running earlier firmware releases than the October 2014 stable firmware are advised to check the release notes of that release in detail before installing this release, due to a high number of improvements and bug fixes.
- It is now possible to configure DNS servers for VPN Client groups. If done so, the VPN Client will use these DNS servers instead of using the Hub's DNS. This allows the VPN Client to be used in combination with a Domain controller, so VPN Client users can become part of a Windows domain.
- The new “4G Europe II” module is now supported.
- The CLI now supports ping, traceroute and moduleinfo tools (similar to what you can use in the web interface).
- Fixed race condition that caused update scripts to sometimes get called twice when starting them manually.
- Very big (100MB+) local update packages are now supported.
- Fixed the bug that offline firmware uploads are sometimes aborted, resulting in corrupted firmware uploads getting rejected. This happened if there was just 100ms without data getting sent during the upload. It mostly happened with the new web interface and when doing updates remotely.
- The distribution of system load on multi-core Hubs has been improved.
- Changed maintenance contract warning start to March 2015.
- Several improvements for LTE status reporting.
- Fixed a bug that caused OptimalLatencyBelow not to be displayed in monitoring API and -tool.
- IP address of a replaced device in Hub hotspare mode is now shown in the new web interface.
- Several bug fixes for the channel congestion notification system.
- The SIM traffic reporting could end up in a state where it never committed its values to the accounting server.
