Release v0.16.0

This release introduces support for new operating systems and the aarch64 (arm64) architecture and includes significant upgrades to various dependencies. Please note, in-place OS upgrades are not supported. Attempting to do so will disrupt the functionality of your system.

The approved method for upgrading to a new OS and dependencies is by utilizing our backup and restore scripts. This has been designed to be a seamless process, resulting in minimal downtime of just a few seconds!

We strongly recommend performing a backup/restore during this update to fully benefit from the newly updated dependencies, particularly if you are still on Debian 10 or Ubuntu 20.04. Please remember that the backup script does not automatically update itself. This release includes a significant change to the backup script that is necessary for the mongo to postgresql conversion during a restore, so it's crucial that you download the latest version before attempting to initiate a backup.

We have successfully facilitated numerous backup/restore operations over the years. If you need additional assistance or if the process feels daunting, don't hesitate to reach out to our commercial support. We're here to help!

Please note that our backup/restore functionality supports transition not only between different operating systems but also between architectures! For instance, you can back up an Ubuntu 20.04 system on an x86 architecture and restore it to an Oracle Cloud Free Tier ARM architecture running Debian 12.

Please note that these upgrades are entirely optional. Existing installations will continue to operate normally and are still fully supported. If you don't wish to backup/restore to a new OS/arch then you can treat this update like any other standard update and just run the update script as usual.

We're also thrilled to announce that our Reporting feature has entered the feature freeze phase and is currently undergoing final testing. If all tests are successful, you can anticipate its release within this month!

v0.15.4

Release notes

• Feature: added functionality to pass environment variables to scripts. This is a more secure way than command line args to pass sensitive info to scripts as it's not logged anywhere (for example, powershell logs the command line args in the windows event viewer even if they're not written to disk in your script). See video below for a tutorial on how to use them with various languages/OS. A new input field called "Environment vars" has been added to the web UI in all the places where you could add script args. This accepts a list of env vars in key=value format. Requires agent v2.4.3
