Release Notes - Version 15.3

Written by Panickos Neophytou

Features

Server

  • Cellular interface for remote worker agents—model and test over cellular like other interface types.

  • Remote worker invitations sent from the dashboard.

  • Agent Logs refresh control to reload the latest log lines without leaving the view.

  • Webhook support for scheduled-test alerts so automations get the same class of notifications as other alert paths.

  • Full DNS record type coverage in the product (dashboard/API) for DNS tests.

  • IPv4-only testing and “skip IPv6” options for tests where you need to force IPv4 behavior.

  • PING vs DNS labels on the target view so similar tests are easy to tell apart.

Agent

  • Ping: routable IPv6 handling plus force_ipv4 / skip_ipv6 behavior on the agent.

  • DNS: additional NS, MX, SRV, CAA record types and record_type support for DNS tests.

  • Wi‑Fi profiles: configurable bgscan for background scanning / roaming-friendly behavior.

  • Wi‑Fi association: wpa_supplicant prefers the strongest AP when connecting.

  • Diagnostics: extended diagnostics mode and related CLI handling; macOS-specific diagnostics options and help.

  • nb_troubleshoot: port checks use port_test instead of nmap.

  • Raspberry Pi bundles: model-aware wpa_supplicant packaging and dhcpcd updates for correct interface management on supported Pi models.


Improvements

Server

  • General usability polish across the app.

  • Historical graph time-range selection simplified.

  • Alert logs on agents and Wi‑Fi profiles show target name for quicker context.

  • Agent name tooltips on the agent list and thumbnails for faster identification.

  • Outbound agent messages include Wi‑Fi profile name where relevant.

  • Nginx upgraded to 1.28.2 (security/stability).

  • Message server refreshed on a newer Node base image (runtime hygiene).

Agent

  • Interface discovery improved for dynamic link changes, USB dongles, and ARP-based checks.

  • Windows: better driver / description reporting, Hyper‑V virtual adapter handling, and wired NIC detection when the name doesn’t contain “external”.

  • Windows Wi‑Fi: cleaner WlanQueryInterface logging and UI-facing messages (less noise, clearer states).

  • Wi‑Fi roaming: more reliable timing and interface status through handoff.

  • Bgscan: zero threshold allowed where valid; exponential algorithm removed from supported options; clearer logging when config doesn’t match expectations.

  • Log rotation: safer concurrent use via mutex protection around rotation.

  • nb_troubleshoot: banner handling and log formatting tuned for large outputs.


Bugs

Server

  • Ad-hoc custom commands: corrected output schema labels and run behavior so results match the intended structure.

  • Path analysis: RTT precision fixed in visualization/metrics.

  • Ad-hoc tests: default target handling updated so tests default to https:// where appropriate (avoids wrong scheme assumptions).

Agent

  • Network namespaces: fixed routing table collision when creating namespaces in same-subnet / overlapping layouts.

  • Windows wired interfaces: fixed detection when the interface name omits the “external” keyword but is still the primary wired path.

  • Windows path analysis (dublin-traceroute): improved reliability and correct results when multiple path-analysis tests run concurrently (no more cross-test interference or inconsistent reporting).
