• 🔺NEXT RELEASE REMOVAL: If you have implemented external applications using the OLD API endpoints, please migrate to the NEW API endpoints.

🆕 New capabilities

• Added device-field wildcards for custom properties, including per-device links and actions. Allow custom links from Devices list #1773
• Added on-demand plugin runs from device custom properties with success or error feedback.
• Plugins docs embedded natively in the official docs website and included in the docs search
• New IMPORT_ON reserved setting name to toggle if the plugin should import objects as Devices
• New scanPresence, scanNotificationMode, and scanCreatesDevice fields on the CurrentScan DB table allowing you to suppress notifications and import offline devices
• Added pagination controls to the Presence page for navigating large device lists.
• Device status listings now support limit and offset pagination with stable ordering.
• Added pagination controls for device and event API listings, including stable ordering across pages.
• Added database indexes to improve device and plugin lookups.
• Added consistent MAC address normalization for plugin events.
• DOCKERDISC plugin: enrich existing devices with their Docker containers - by @mauricio-camayo 🙏 Feature Request: Plugin for docker inregration #1721
• Devices can retain both primary IPv4 and IPv6 addresses reported during the same scan. [FREEBOX] Dual-stack IPv6 addresses do not populate devPrimaryIPv6 #1804

✨Fixes and Improvements

• Adding a new custom-property and selecting an icon didn't target the newly added entry before saving
• Differently cased MACs could cause double detection MAC address case sensitivity causes the same device to be reported separately #1775
• The notification window didn’t span the full width fix by @HsukqiLee 🙏 The notification window doesn’t span the full width? #1762
• Corrected device relationship setting types and repaired affected existing values. NEWDEV_devParentRelType is declared as an array but defaults to a string: "Error decoding JSON object" on every scan, and new devices get devParentRelType='[]' #1784
• Improved the accuracy and efficiency of parent-child device counts.
• Improved device tile count performance and empty-result handling.
• Prevented lookup failures for identifiers containing special characters.
• Fix unnecessary config scan in importConfigs, was causing the container to run at over 80% CPU. by @agueybanapr 🙏
• In-app notification messages can now contain up to 4,096 characters. Messages exceeding the limit are automatically shortened with an ellipsis instead of being rejected. Multi-edit notification silently fails validation when content exceeds 1024 chars (string_too_long) #1793
• GraphQL device lists sort valid IP addresses numerically, with empty or invalid values placed consistently. Primary IPv4 column sorts lexicographically instead of numerically #1797
• GRAPHQL_PORT ENV variable was not applied on fresh production volumes. Env variable GRAPHQL_PORT not used #1803
• Plugin-sourced text is sanitized before saving, and changes made during sanitization are logged. Raw text remains available for designated display-only fields via allow_raw_text
• Conflicting plugin events that resolve to the same identity are rejected as a batch, preventing any events in that batch from being saved.

🔝 Current priorities

• High priority: Settings, Workflows and Plugins core improvements
• Low priority: UI (PRs welcome, but follow guidelines)

🐞 Known issues

• See also 🚑 fixes below and the Issues tracker

• ARMv6 startup issues in specific scenarios Docker container startup on DietPi failed with exit code 126. #1648

If you have any debug info/suggestions regarding the above, please open a separate issue, thanks! 🤍
