1.1.0 [2024-09-25]

Features

• Added the default_hostname option to force devices to register using their MAC address instead of their hostname.
• Added support for hotplug events.
• Added error reporting functionality, which sends error logs to the controller if the agent fails to apply a configuration update.
• Implemented a retry mechanism with random backoff for essential operations, including retrieving checksums and downloading configurations from the controller, as well as reporting error statuses.

Changes

Backward incompatible changes

• Renamed /etc/init.d/openwisp_config to /etc/init.d/openwisp-config.

Deprecations

• Deprecated /usr/sbin/openwisp_config in favor of /usr/sbin/openwisp-config to maintain consistency with other files in the package. The path /usr/sbin/openwisp_config is now a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/openwisp-config.
• Deprecated hooks in favor of hotplug events.

Other changes

• Updated logging to capture errors from openwisp-update-config in logd.
• Changed the default bootup_delay to 10 seconds.
• Changed the auto-naming of network.device objects to make it consistent with OpenWISP.

Bugfixes

• Ensured full backup of default UCI files to prevent the loss of configuration.
• Preserved persistent data directories across system upgrades.
• Fixed a registration bug where the agent failed to automatically fall back to the first non-loopback interface when the configured mac_interface was not present.
• Fixed backup process to include all modified files in the backup to ensure no changes are omitted.
• Resolved issues in post-installation and removal scripts in the Makefile, ensuring proper execution during image building.
