24.03.007 changelog

24.03.007

Released on 29 March, 2024.

Server

Features

  • policy objects now contain a status field that can be in either an enabled/disabled state. If a policy is disabled it’s evaluation will be ignored. Enabled is the default status to maintain backward compatibility of the API, and existing values in the database. The UI has been been modified to allow for a user to toggle the status of one or many policies.
  • Individual IPv4 Addresses can now be released via the API or Web GUI.
  • Controller images are now available in Azure GovCloud. See the Bowtie downloads page for Azure for a list of regions including those hosted in GovCloud.
  • Controllers now support the ability to collect and deliver diagnostics bundles to Bowtie for assisted support efforts in the event of a troubleshooting situation. Data is not sent by default and explicit administrative steps are necessary to initiate the process. See the Controller SoS section for additional information.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the single sign-on service provider (dex.service) would fail on Controller startup or update when no configuration files were present.

Client

Fixes

  • On versions prior to 24.03.007, system DNS could be broken by certain combinations of WiFi network changes and switching from wired Ethernet.

Documentation

Features

  • Added Windows client support for DNS search domains.

    Concierge domains configured as search domains in the Bowtie server will now function as search domains on clients. This means that for instance, for concierge domain example.com configured as a search domain, the name app1 will now resolve as if the user had entered app1.example.com, and typing just app1 into e.g. a web browser should work as expected.

    Currently, this feature is only present on Windows clients.
