Changes

Backward incompatible changes

• Since django-sortedm2m, the widget we use to implement ordered
  templates, clears all the many to many relationships every time it
  has to make changes, we had to stop deleting VpnClient instances
  related to VPN templates on post_clear m2m signals If you wrote
  any custom derivative which relies on calls like
  device.config.templates.clear() to delete related VpnClient
  instances and their x509 certificates, you will have to update your
  code to remove all the templates using their primary keys, instead
  of using clear()
• The default behavior for the resolution of conflicting management
  IPs between devices of different organizations has been changed; by
  default, in this new version, the system assumes it's using only 1
  management tunnel for all the organizations, so different devices
  from any organization will not have the same management IP to avoid
  conflicts. The old behaviour can be restored by setting
  OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_SHARED_MANAGEMENT_IP_ADDRESS_SPACE to
  False
• OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_BACKEND_DEVICE_LIST has been renamed to
  OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_CONFIG_BACKEND_FIELD_SHOWN
• Device.check_management_ip_changed has been changed to private API
  Device._check_management_ip_changed

Other changes

• Reworked implementation of config_modified signal:
  • the signal is now always emitted on templates changes m2m
    events, also if config.status is modified, with the
    differences that only post_add and post_remove m2m events are
    used, while post_clear is ignored, which fixes the duplicate
    signal emission caused by the implementation of sortedm2m;
  • added action and previous_status arguments, which allow to
    understand where the config_modified signal is being emitted
    from, this allows more advanced usage of the signal by custom
    implementations
• Context variable follows template order: If two or more applied
  templates have "default_values" with the same keys, then the context
  variables of the template which comes later in the order will be
  used
• New credentials created with auto_add set to True will get added
  to the existing devices in a background task. This improves the
  responsiveness of the web application
• Decoupled admin LogEntry from Template model
• Device admin only lists relevant templates, i.e. templates that are
  shared or belong to the device's organization
• Improved UX of system-defined variables
• Name of objects is unique only within the same organization and
  within the shared objects
• The system does not sends connection notifications if the
  connectivity of the device changes
• Allowed searching devices using their location address in Device
  admin.
• Removed deprecated api/device-location/<pk> endpoint
• Made device name unique per organization instead of unique system
  wide
• Added time limits to background celery tasks

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug which caused VpnClient instances to be recreated every
  time the configuration templates of a device were changed, which
  caused x590 certificates to be destroyed and recreated as well
• Hardened config validation of OpenVPN backend. The validation fails
  if the openvpn key is missing from the configuration

  a template's default_values were changed

• Added JSON Schema widget to credentials admin
• Added device_registered signal
• Added OpenWISP Notifications module as a dependency, which
  brings support for web and email notifications for important events

• Added notifications for changes of is_working status of credentials
• UX, automatically add/remove default values to device context: automatically add or remove default values of templates to the configuration context (a.k.a. configuration variables) when templates are added or removed from devices
• UX: added system defined variables section

Changes

• Backward incompatible: the code of django-netjsonconfig was
  merged in openwisp-controller to simplify maintenance
• Changed API of device_location view for consistency: /api/device-location/{id}/ becomes /api/v1/device/{id}/location/, the old URL is kept for backward compatibility but will be removed in the future
• Backward incompatible change: schema url endpoint changed to <controller-url>/config/schema.json and it's now in config namespace instead of admin namespace
• Changed VPN DH length to 2048 and moved its generation to the background because it's a lot slower
• Admin: Order Device, Template and VPN alphabetically by default
• Admin: Added mac_address field to the device list page (DeviceAdmin.list_display)
• Increased max_length of common name to 64
• Changed the config apply logic to avoid restarting the openwisp-config deamon if the configuration apply procedure is already being run
• Made template config field required in most cases
• Changed DeviceConnection.failure_reason field to TextField, this avoids possible exception if failed_reason is very long, which may happen in some corner cases
• Made Device verbose_name configurable, see OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_DEVICE_VERBOSE_NAME
• Increased netjsonconfig version to 0.9.x (which brings support for new interface types, see the change log of netjsonconfig for more information)
• Increased django-x509 version to 0.9.x

• Do not execute default template selection if device exists
• Close preview overlay on errors
• Avoid triggering config_modified signal during registration
• UI: Fixed whitespace after overview tab in in device page
• Validate Config.context and Template.default_values: Config.context and Template.default_values must always be a dictionary, falsy values will be converted to empty dictionary automatically

• Handled device not existing case in update_config task
• Fixed auto cert feature failure when device name is too long
• UI: avoid showing main scrollbar in preview mode
• Fixed OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_BACKEND_DEVICE_LIST = False
• UI fixed advanced mode bugs: positioning is done using css instead of js. Removed body scrollbar when in advanced mode. Back to normal mode with ESC key. Hidden netjsonconfig docs hint on narrow screens
• Avoid simultaneous update_config tasks: since now the launch of the task is executed when the transaction is committed to the database
• Fixed OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_CONTEXT setting getting modified at run time
• Fixed z-index of preview overlay: the z-index is increased so it's higher than the main navigation menu to avoid the possibility of triggering the main menu inadvertently
• Prevent sending config_modified signal multiple times
• Fix timeout when changing template: slow operations are moved to the background
• Fixed variablle validation: now all the available context (device variables, system variables) are taken into account when performing validation
• Removed unnecessary static() call from media assets
