Release notes

Changelog

What's new in MetaWiFi Aegis — release by release.

v1.3.50 June 2026

Advanced operator settings & OVA setup wizard

  • New Advanced admin tab for Tier 1 operator settings — poll intervals (firewall, load balancer, switch SNMP, switch traffic), 5 GHz utilisation threshold, AP name history window and WLC trend source, all live without a restart.
  • New Configurable sessions_max per firewall so the concurrent-sessions gauge scale matches the actual platform capacity (e.g. 3 000 000 for a FortiGate 4200F).
  • Improved OVA setup wizard: Stargate-themed install progress — 7 chevrons lock one-by-one as each component is pulled, ending with "Wormhole established — Aegis components on board."
  • Improved SNMP switch polling parallelised with a configurable worker pool, dramatically reducing collection time on sites with many devices.
  • Fix Admin reboot banner no longer flashes for one second on every page load. Banner re-polls every 60 s and auto-hides when the pending-reboot flag clears.
v1.3.49 June 2026

F5 BIG-IP load balancer — VIP monitoring & favorites

  • New Per-user VIP favorites — star any VIP or SNAT pool and pin it to the top of the table. Favorites are stored per logged-in user.
  • New Favorites comparison pane showing all starred VIPs and SNAT pools with current availability state, monitor status and concurrent connections.
  • New Monitor toggle (eye icon) per VIP — when a monitored VIP transitions to down, an alert fires to the dashboard and SIGNL4.
  • New Live search/filter on VIP and SNAT pool tables.
  • New SNAT pool name shown per VIP row, resolved from the F5 virtual server configuration.
  • Fix VIP connections now show concurrent connections instead of the cumulative counter (was showing billions of total packets).
  • Fix SNAT pool connections corrected to concurrent sessions instead of the cumulative total.
  • Fix VIP list no longer disappears when the F5 bulk-walk times out on large tables — walks are retried up to 3 times before falling back to the last known state.
v1.3.39 June 2026

SNMP, licensing & appliance refinements

  • New Per-device-type SNMP credentials with an individual v2c/v3 version toggle per type, so switches, firewalls and load balancers can each use their own community string or SNMPv3 profile.
  • New F5 BIG-IP load balancer monitoring over SNMP, surfaced alongside switching, wireless and ACI data.
  • Improved Signed license keys are now bound to a stable hardware ID, preventing accidental trial resets and making license validation more reliable.
  • Fix SNMP v2c community no longer silently inherits from the Switches type — a blank community now correctly defaults to public.
  • Improved OVA appliance specification set to 4 vCPU / 16 GB / 100 GB, with build-time QEMU resources decoupled from the declared spec to resolve out-of-memory failures during image builds.
v1.3.19 June 2026

Platform stability

  • Fix Update status and progress messages are now consistently displayed in English throughout the dashboard.
  • Improved Update workflow reliability — the update trigger mechanism is more robust under various deployment configurations.
v1.3.18 May 2026

Ubuntu deployment & OVA improvements

  • New Fully automated Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 installation via a single install command. The installer configures all services, nginx, HTTPS readiness and update tooling without manual steps.
  • New OVA setup wizard now automatically configures SNMP and telemetry settings and sets the correct dashboard URL after deployment.
  • Fix Dashboard not reachable after fresh deployment due to an nginx upstream port misconfiguration. Affected both OVA and Ubuntu installs.
  • Improved Admin panel streamlined — license management is now handled via the Aegis portal, reducing clutter in the dashboard admin section.
  • Improved Dashboard UI cleaned up — removed placeholder text and unused status messages from the overview page.
v1.3.17 April 2026

Security hardening

  • Security Internal services (application and time-series database) are now bound to localhost only. These ports are no longer reachable from the network, reducing the external attack surface.
  • Security Rate limiting added to the dashboard login endpoint to protect against brute-force attempts.
  • Improved OVA build process is now significantly faster and more reliable. Disk preparation was reworked to eliminate a step that occasionally caused build timeouts on GitHub Actions.
v1.3.16 March 2026

HTTPS, LDAP and Cisco ACI

  • New HTTPS support with automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning. Certificates renew automatically and the dashboard reconfigures itself without a restart.
  • New LDAP authentication with role mapping. Users can now log in with their corporate directory credentials. Supports multi-group mapping to Admin or Monitor roles.
  • New Cisco ACI integration. Fabric health, tenant state and endpoint data from the APIC are now visible directly in the dashboard alongside traditional switching and wireless data.
  • New SIGNL4 alerting integration. Critical alerts are forwarded to SIGNL4 for mobile notification and on-call escalation. Alerts resolve automatically when the condition clears.
  • Fix License key no longer lost after a container rebuild or service restart.
  • Improved OVA build migrated from VirtualBox to QEMU/KVM and base OS upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for improved performance and longer support lifecycle.
