2024 - March Changelog

Introducing new features and improvements to the Peridio Cloud, documentation, remote access, CLI, and device agents.

Apr 2, 2024

Our first quarter updates span the Peridio Cloud platform, documentation, remote access functionality, CLI tool, and various device agent implementations.

Key highlights include:

Peridio Cloud now supports phase tags for granular release rollouts, named bundles for easier organization, and hybrid release resolution for flexibility. The web console has also been enhanced with improved network robustness and user experience optimizations.
The Peridio documentation has been restructured with a new global search feature, dedicated platform and integration sections, and various content updates to reflect the latest product capabilities.
Peridio Remote Access Tunnels, a new feature set currently in closed beta, will soon enable secure and simple connectivity to fleet devices using protocols like SSH.
The Peridio CLI tool and device agents (peridiod and peridio-daemon) have been updated to support new features and improvements, such as named bundles and enhanced security.
Yocto build support has been expanded to include additional hardware platforms like NXP MCIMX6ULL-EVK, Khadas VIM3, and various Raspberry Pi models.

These updates demonstrate our commitment to continuously enhancing its fleet management solution, empowering organizations with the tools and capabilities needed to effectively manage and secure their device fleets. Read on for a detailed breakdown of the changes and improvements in each Peridio component.

Peridio Cloud

Features

Phase tags: releases can now limit their rollout to only devices that have certain tags.
Named bundles: bundles can now be named.
Hybrid release resolution: releases can now automatically fallback from static to dynamic resolution just-in-time.
Device updated event: an event is now created any time a device record is updated within Peridio.
Discovering unsigned binaries: releases now report in the web console if you are configuring them with a bundle that contains one or more unsigned binaries. Note that Peridio will never serve unsigned binaries.

Improvements

Update responses ignore binary targets: when checking for an update with releases you now receive metadata about all of the bundle’s binaries; not just the ones whose target matches the requesting device’s.
Web console network robustness: improve the web console’s ability to behave correctly in the face of low throughput and unreliable connections.
Cohorts in events: add cohort PRN and name to device release_changed and connected events.
Code entry UX: improve web console’s confirmation code entry UX.
Release now: add “now” button for release schedule date.
Internal: A number of security, performance, observability, and reliability improvements have been made internally.

Fixes

Menu close: fix web console table filter menus closing on websocket activity.
Empty JITP tags: fix bug when providing empty JITP tags to web console.
Malformed auth header: fix bug when supplying malformed authorization header to Admin API.
Phase value: fix bug in rendering release phase_value in web console.
Version-less release: fix updating a version-less release in web console.
Invalid operator: fix response returned when searching list endpoints with an invalid operator.
Unset cohort: fix bug when a device without a cohort tries to check for an update via releases.
Filtering deployments: fix various usability bugs in filtering web console deployments tables.
Filtering websockets: fix bug in filtering by websocket connected status.

Integration section: add top level integration section outlining devices systems, agents, and embedded integration.

Improvements

Ignore binary targets: update content regarding binary targets and their interplay with release resolution.
Phase tags: update content regarding release resolution to specify phasing rollouts in general more specifically as well as add new language regarding phase tags.
Release resolution: add an activity diagram to the release reference that specifies release resolution.
General: update all sections to accurately document that latest state of all references products and services.

Fixes

Broken links: fix various broken links.
