mender (3.2.1)

New changes in mender since 3.2.0:

  • fix(client_update): Only fall back to older endpoints on HTTP 404's

    Make the client only fall back to older endpoints on HTTP 404 error codes when polling the deployments/next endpoint.

    Previous functionality fell back to older endpoints on all error codes. This in turn meant that when the client got rate-limited by the server on 429's, the client fell back to the older endpoints.

    The problem with this is that only the POSTv2 endpoint supports control maps, so when an update with control maps was in progress, the other endpoints would return 204, and the client would think the deployment was aborted from the server. (MEN-5421)

Changelogs

mender (3.2.0)

New changes in mender since 3.1.0:

  • [FIX] Fetch geo location data once per power cycle
  • The client now shows output from scripts executed in the log as regular log messages, prefixed by the filedescriptor they are written to, and the script executed, like this: 'Output (stdout|stderr) from command \"/usr/bin/foo\": bar.' (MEN-5098)
  • Bump github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact to 3.6.1
  • Fix error not finding active partition for systems where /dev/root is a symlink
  • installer/bootenv: support systemd-boot tools
  • Upgrade golang.org/x/crypto to the latest version
  • Title if the update module has not already requested a reboot. This is done, in the case that ArtifactInstall never finished, and hence the reboot information from the update module is never collected. (MEN-4882)
  • Upgrade from deprecated golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/terminal to golang.org/x/term (QA-235)
  • Mender starts a local HTTP server that will proxy incoming requests to /api/devices to the currently authenticated Mender server. The existing D-Bus API endpoints GetJwtToken and JwtTokenStateChange will now return the local address together with the JWT token. Supports also websocket upgrade when calling /api/devices/v1/deviceconnect/connect endpoint (MEN-5216)
  • mender setup: Deprecate --demo flag and split its functionality across new flags --demo-server to configure the device for a Mender demo server and --demo-polling to use demo polling intervals. (MEN-5138)
  • Client will no longer cache the Authorization token from the server across restarts, meaning that it is no longer possible to end up in the situation where a rootfs update with invalid authorization data succeeds, only to fail authorization later on when the token expires. (MEN-5217)
  • It is no longer possible to change the identity of a device with a rootfs update. This was not supported before either, but worked in a hacky way by abusing the authorization token to get a rootfs update with new identity data to succeed. Afterwards the device would show up as a new device when the token expired. (MEN-5217)
  • ubi: Get rid of useless warning: Could not resolve path link: ubi..

  • Refresh update control maps before failing an update

    Fix the issue where if a state takes longer than the expiration time for the enabled update control map, then by the time the client checks its control maps, the map is expired, and the update fails.

    Now the client refreshes the update maps from the server before each pause, and hence, this issue will be avoided. (MEN-5096)

  • Handle the possibility of losing network connectivity when refreshing the update control maps.
  • Fix a race condition which can happen during a reboot if systemd kills the reboot command before it kills the Mender client. (MEN-5340)
  • When an update is paused, the client now queries the server for updates using the UpdatePollIntervalSeconds interval if it is shorter than UpdateControlMapExpirationTimeSeconds, enabling quicker response when continuing an update.
  • Fix a (possible) file descriptor leak.
  • vendor: Bump mender-artifact to latest master version

Changelogs

mender (3.1.0)

New changes in mender since 3.0.0:

  • Fix a bug which could sometimes lead the client to do a rollback after it had already committed. This could happen if the client happened to spontaneously reboot or fail during the status update to the server. Doing this is not correct according to the state flow, and can have unexpected consequences depending on the combination of Update Modules and State Scripts. (MEN-4830)
  • mender-inventory-network: Fix incompatibility with busybox, by using short command line options in grep command. (MEN-4851)
  • Do not put useless and sometimes even incorrect zero values in the configuration file when running mender setup. (MEN-4857)
  • Extend logs for docker module
  • Add artifact_name to device provides if not found in store
  • Support passing docker run CLI arguments when deploying an artifact using the docker update module.
  • Implement support for non-U-Boot tool names. The tools still have to be command line compatible with the U-Boot tools (either u-boot-fw-utils or libubootenv), but the names can be different. This allows having U-Boot tools installed alongside grub-mender-grubenv tools, whose new names are grub-mender-grubenv-set and grub-mender-grubenv-print, instead of fw_setenv and fw_printenv. The two new configuration settings BootUtilitiesSetActivePart and BootUtilitiesGetNextActivePart have been introduced to configure the names. If no names are set, then the default is to try the grub-mender-grubenv tools first, followed by the "fw_" tools if the former are not found. (MEN-3978)
  • Add missing filesystem sync which could produce an empty or corrupted Update Module file tree in /var/lib/mender/modules/v3/payloads/0000/tree/files/ after an unexpected reboot.
  • If the mender.conf file has a new server URL or tenant token, the client will now remove the cached authorization token upon the next restart of the dameon, and hence respect the new configuration, as opposed to letting it expire, which was the old functionality. (MEN-3420)
  • [FIX] Fetch geo location data once per power cycle

mender (3.0.0)

New changes in mender since 2.6.0:

  • mender setup: when configuring for demo using self-signed certificate, install the certificate in the local trust store so that all components in the system (namely, Mender addons) can trust the Mender server without extra configuration. (MEN-4580)
  • Warn in the log when the system certificates contain the demo cert.
  • Dont Verify SSL if skip verify is set If skip verify is set , then we shouldnt call VerifyResult
  • Fix infinite carriage return output when running in ADB shell
  • Add a DBus endpoint for the UpdateControlMap, which allows a user to set the ID and Priority of a given update process. (MEN-4535)
  • The daemon will no longer crash if mender check-update or send-inventory is used before the daemon has finished its set up. (MEN-4074)
  • Update Modules Artifact generators: correct --software-version flag
  • single-file-artifact-gen: Support concurrent executions
  • single-file Update Module: fix rollback functionality
  • Add UpdateControlMapBootExpirationTimeSeconds to mender.conf.
  • The location of the device type file is now determined by the mender.conf file. If the device type file is not used in mender.conf, the device type file is determined by the --data flag and if the flag is not used, the device type file is set to default. In addition, the scripts and modules directories location is consistent with the --data flag now. (MEN-4669)
  • Implement the continue/pause/fail state machine logic This adds support for the explit control of the Mender state machine through the update control maps functionality. The state machine can be controlled through the verbs, puase/continue/fail in the states:
    • ArtifactInstall_Enter
    • ArtifactCommit_Enter
    • ArtifactReboot_Enter (MEN-4549)
  • Fix D-Bus timeout on errors by finishing handling (MEN-4703)
  • Report to deployments/status when pausing in any state (MEN-4624)
  • Fix race condition in menderAuthManagerService due to concurrent map access. This could manifest either as a crash, or as a failure to deliver the JwtToken to dependent processes, such as mender-connect.
  • Fix race condition in dbus.RegisterMethodCallCallback due to concurrent map access. This could manifest either as a crash, or as a failure to deliver the JwtToken to dependent processes, such as mender-connect.
  • Fix: Correctly log the error response message from server errors
  • Fix occasional crash when exiting using SIGTERM.
  • Fix: mender-client.service and the old mender.service services can no longer run at the same time. If anyone has both, then mender.service should be removed from the system.
  • Previously the Mender client would hide output from the child processes it ran, leading to errors from tools such as fw_printenv, not showing up in the logs. Now default to showing all output from the child processes called in the client logs.
  • The client now supports the HTTP Device API v2. (MEN-4785)
  • Mark deployment as failed on bad signature instead of retrying.
  • CLI commands prefixed with hyphen are now deprecated, use instead directly the command name. For example mender daemon, mender commit, mender show-artifact, etc. (MEN-4808)
  • Remove deprecated flag --log-modules (MEN-4808)
  • Fix a bug which could sometimes lead the client to do a rollback after it had already committed. This could happen if the client happened to spontaneously reboot or fail during the status update to the server. Doing this is not correct according to the state flow, and can have unexpected consequences depending on the combination of Update Modules and State Scripts. (MEN-4830)

mender (2.5.2)

New changes in mender since 2.5.1:

  • Dont Verify SSL if skip verify is set If skip verify is set , then we shouldnt call VerifyResult
  • Update Modules Artifact generators: correct --software-version flag
  • single-file-artifact-gen: Support concurrent executions
  • single-file Update Module: fix rollback functionality
  • The daemon will no longer crash if mender check-update or send-inventory is used before the daemon has finished its set up. (MEN-4074)
  • Fix D-Bus timeout on errors by finishing handling (MEN-4703)
  • The location of the device type file is now determined by the mender.conf file. If the device type file is not used in mender.conf, the device type file is determined by the --data flag and if the flag is not used, the device type file is set to default. In addition, the scripts and modules directories location is consistent with the --data flag now. (MEN-4669)
  • Fix race condition in menderAuthManagerService due to concurrent map access. This could manifest either as a crash, or as a failure to deliver the JwtToken to dependent processes, such as mender-connect.
  • Fix race condition in dbus.RegisterMethodCallCallback due to concurrent map access. This could manifest either as a crash, or as a failure to deliver the JwtToken to dependent processes, such as mender-connect.
  • Fix occasional crash when exiting using SIGTERM.
  • Fix: Correctly log the error response message from server errors
  • Fix a bug which could sometimes lead the client to do a rollback after it had already committed. This could happen if the client happened to spontaneously reboot or fail during the status update to the server. Doing this is not correct according to the state flow, and can have unexpected consequences depending on the combination of Update Modules and State Scripts. (MEN-4830)

Released 09.11.2020

Changelogs

mender (2.4.0)

New changes in mender since 2.3.0:

  • keystore: use openssl bindings Switch the code that signs the server's authentication request to use openssl. This allows to use ssl_engines, which permit to use PKCS#11 or TPMs as keystore.
  • vendor: switch openssl bindings to github.com/Linutronix/golang-openssl spacemonkeygo/openssl depends on spacelog, which increases binary size by about 2MB due to using reflect. Switch to a fork which has the logger removed. This patch can hopefully be reverted someday, when the logger removal has been mainlined.

New changes in mender since 2.2.0b1:

  • Remove text/template dependency from the cli library reducing mender client binary size by approximately 20%
  • Fix "State transition loop detected" when retrying status update.

New changes in mender since 2.1.2:

  • mender setup cli command and new CLI package (MEN-2418, MEN-2806)
  • Fix UBI device size calculation
  • store: Save artifact provides for dependency verifications
  • app: Verify artifact (version >= 3) dependencies with current artifact
  • store/app{standalone}: Artifact dependency checking for artifact v3
  • app/store{standalone}: Unit tests Artifact v3 depends and provides
  • Enable the usage of the full Mender-Artifact version 3 format (MEN-2642)
  • support: modules-artifact-gen: Fix typo in default name of output file
  • Rename --mender-professional flag to --hosted-mender
  • Add --quiet flag and remove --run-daemon option and confirm device
  • Now the client stores Artifact provides parameters across reboots in standalone mode. Previously this data was ignored, and hence upgrading with an Artifact with provides parameters these were lost. (MEN-2969)
  • Set default device type to hostname for interactive setup
  • New command: snapshot dump to dump current rootfs
  • Skip special device "rootfs" when determining rootfs type
  • Report 'Unknown' rootfs type if we can't detect it
  • Optimize rootfs-update image writes (MEN-2939)
  • Make single-file-artifact-gen script POSIX compliant. (MEN-3049)
  • Fix segfault when running mender setup on a read-only filesystem.
  • Fix crash when specified certificate can't be opened. Both the ServerCertificate setting and the system certificates are now optional, in the sense that the client will run without them. However, the client will not be able to connect without the right certificates, so the main usecase of this change is to have a workable client that will roll back if connections can't be made, instead of exiting. (MEN-3047)
  • Add warning message when server certificate can't be parsed.
  • snapshot: Added watchdog timer to keep system from freezing
  • snapshot: Add compression options to speed up transfer
  • Improved error message when an update-module is missing (MEN-3007)
  • snapshot: New flag --source specifying the source filesystem to snapshot

  • module/single-file: fix rollback state by correctly defining filename
  • Check for -f option in stat command
  • Set hard limit(10) for client update status report retries This fixes an issue where the maxSendingAttemps in updateReportRetry state could be set real high, since it is calculated as UpdatePollIntervalSeconds / RetryPollIntervalSeconds. This adds a hard upper limit of 10 retries for the client in any case. (MEN-2676)

mender (2.1.0)

New changes in mender since 2.0.1:

  • rootfs-image-v2: Make sure to follow the spec regarding stream-next. We should to read the final empty entry to make sure the client does not block.
  • Restore error code 2 behavior when there is nothing to commit.
  • Fix read error masking in installer.chunkedCopy(...) func
  • Update vendored dependencies for client.
  • When set, HTTP proxy settings in http_proxy/https_proxy environment variables are respected now.
  • module-artifact-gen: Fix inability to specify more than one device_type.
  • Make all errors checked or explicitly ignored All possible errors must be checked across all code base. If an error is intentionally ignored it should be done explicitly.
  • add state-scripts example scripts to wait for network connectivity before trying to connect to the Mender server. (MEN-2457)
  • Artifact gen: Support argument passthrough to mender-artifact. Use -- to signal that remaining arguments should be passed directly to mender-artifact.
  • Make the device type file location configurable
  • Make channel receiving user signals buffered The commit fixes improper usage of signal.Notify(...) func from Go stdlib. A channel must be buffered to properly receive signals: https://golang.org/pkg/os/signal/#Notify Also there is no need to reallocate channel and defer signal.Stop(...) each time user signal is received. Thus less resources are used.
  • standalone: Fix artifact committing not working after upgrading from 1.x. (MEN-2465)
  • Print warning on an invalid server certificate. (MEN-2378)
  • add state-script example to preserve ssh keys accross updates (MEN-2457)

  • Fix misspells in comments and error messages
  • Make sure ARM64 is included in bootloader integration inventory.
  • Added example to retain systemd network configuration.
  • single-file module: Make sure permissions are preserved. Also make sure that backup preserves permissions.
  • add state-script example to utilize dbus to broadcast Mender states (MEN-2457)
  • Provide command line interface to force inventory update. (MEN-2131)

mender 2.0.0

Released 05.07.2019

Changelogs

mender (2.0.0)

New changes in mender since 2.0.0b1:

  • Version files are now allowed to contain a newline character. Also some minor changes, as readVersion now accepts an io.Reader, and files are opened outside of the function. This means that the error message is now consistent for all the uses of readVersion. (MEN-2318)
  • file-install modules: Don't destroy original before we know we have a backup.
  • Fix File Install UM to not wipe out dest_dir on single file installs
  • standalone: Fix artifact committing not working after upgrading from 1.x. (MEN-2465)
  • Deprecate old file-install Update Module and create instead two new ones: single-file-install and file-tree-install. These have a simpler logic and clearer scope. See for details. (MEN-2442)
  • Don't push network interfaces without a mac address to inventory
  • Disallow installing file trees on root destination dir for File Install Update Module
  • Make sure ARM64 is included in bootloader integration inventory.
  • Mender no longer misidentifies LVM volumes. (MEN-2302)
  • Update modules: Implement NeedsArtifactReboot -> Automatic. (MEN-2011)

New changes in mender since 1.7.0:

  • Bugfix: State-script error code in Sync-Enter causes infinite loop (MEN-2195)
  • Allow rootfsPartA and rootfsPartB to be symlinks
  • Rewrite AuthorizeWaitState to fix an infinite loop bug (MEN-2195)
  • Modify design for exec.Cmd stdout/stderr logging
  • Place UM generator scripts in a dedicated folder (MEN-2371)
  • Write Update Module to do file(s) install (MEN-2371)
  • Set StateScriptTimeout default to 1h (MEN-2409)
  • Add source-installation instructions to README.md.
  • Add rootfs-image-v2 as a demonstration of how to reimplement Mender's rootfs-image update type as an update module. It's also useful as inspiration if users want to make their own slightly tweaked rootfs-image type. (MEN-2392)
  • Swapped definition of StateScriptRetryTimeout and StateScriptRetryInterval for the names to represent what they are actually doing. This change breaks compatibility with current usage of these configurable parameters. See documentation for correct usage. (MEN-2409)
  • Updated the copyright year to 2019 in LICENSE.
  • Write update module for doing container setup (MEN-2232)
  • Add example update modules for shell commands and pkg installs.
  • Remove misleading warning message when ServerCert is missing.
  • Remove jq dependency for file-install Update Module
  • Implement initial version of update modules. (MEN-2000)
  • Add support for Mender Artifact format version 3. (MEN-2000)
  • Artifact name is now stored in the local database, and /etc/mender/artifact_info acts only as a fallback if no name has been stored yet. This is typically the case for devices provisioned directly from a disk image. Scripts should use the client -show-artifact argument instead of parsing the file. (MEN-2000)
  • -rootfs argument has been removed and replaced with the -install argument, which works the same way. (MEN-2000)
  • Mender now runs a stripped down set of state scripts when installing artifacts in standalone mode, and the -f flag is no longer required to install such artifacts, nor is it valid. The scripts that run are:
  • Download scripts
  • ArtifactInstall scripts
  • ArtifactCommit scripts
  • ArtifactRollback scripts
  • ArtifactFailure scripts Reboot scripts do not run, so these must be handled manually in standalone mode. (MEN-2000)
  • Behavior change: ArtifactCommit_Error scripts now run after an ArtifactCommit_Leave script has returned an error. (MEN-2000)
  • Bugfix in killing mechanism for State Scripts timing out (MEN-2409)
  • Update vendored dependency net/http2 to latest version
  • Support installing most files using Makefile install target. The device_type file is not supported, since it is highly hardware specific. Also the configuration will be very bare bones, and will require changes unless Hosted Mender is being used. (MEN-2383)
  • Make output from -show-artifact easier to consume by limiting logging.
  • Fix state logic for the case of actual wait (MEN-2195)
  • Properly fail the update when writes to the underlying storage fail. (MEN-2285)
  • Work around occasional OOM bug in mmc driver. (MEN-2285)
  • Make sure state directory is created if it doesn't exist.
