Release 4.4.2.0

Notable Fixes

• CM:

  • IPv6 prefix is not requested on bridge interfaces

  • Fix memory leaks (cm2_util_req_stability_cb and cm2_ovsdb_get_connection_uplinks)

• WM: Address memory leak when ACL is updated or DFS recalculations (platform/bcm)

• BM:

  • Address memory leak when ACL is updated (platform/bcm)

  • Probe requests with DSSS IE trigger code managing ACL to improve band steering. (platform/bcm)

• Fixed a performance issue when station was advertising the 160mhz capability in the association but hardware did not support it (platform/bcm)

Notable Enhancements

• Unify pcap filters for L2UF packets

• Created new kconfig BCM_SPEEDTEST_RT_RUNTIME to provide ability change CPU prioritization (RT_RUNTIME and CHRT_PRIO).

• Performance improvement by use posix_spawnp() for strexread() inside util library

• LTEM: Set RA default_lifetime to zero on switchover to LTE to improve switch time

• CM: Dump memory usage during connection checking

Release 4.4.1.0

Notable Fixes

• FSM: Fixed mDNS plugin where mDNS were not cached for each unique IP address

• LTEM:

  • Send MQTT LTE information regardless of LTE state

  • Don't set WAN state up in northbound API on L3 upstream failure

  • Fix LTE persistence configuration, use secondary uplink during onboarding instead restart managers

• CM: Disable repeating uplink check, when uplink was updated

Notable Enhancements

• Amended logpull script to collect outputs of lsof and contents of /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

• Added health-check script to check the available file handles resource pool (observing /proc/sys/fs/file-nr)

• LTEM

  • Don't program the APN unless it has changed

  • Add a healthcheck for LTE

  • Reset modem when not connected to a cell

  • Additional LTE Neighbor metrics in MQTT report

  • Read and store the modem FW version

• CM: Speed up link switching

Platform Support

• Added QSDK 12.1 support (platform/qca)

Release 4.4.0.0

New Features

• BM: Out of band 6GHz capability detection of clients

• DM: Enable or disable SIP-ALG configuration

• WM:

  • Introduced Fast Transition WPA2/3-Enterprise option

  • WPS support with Hostapd 

  • Reporting RADIUS availability

  • Secondary RADIUS support for WPA2/WPA3 enterprise

• FSM: Introduced network ID attribute to all caches and improved reporting

• CM: Bluetooth functionality is independent of node type (extender or gateway). You can now easily enable or disable bluetooth functionality on your node. 

• VPNM: Optional. Introduced VPN Manager that does IKEv2 IPSec WAN IP split tunnel L3 and application-based routing

• SpeedTest report now includes all data elements provided by Ookla's binary

Notable Fixes

• FCM: Corrected the role inside the interface statistics

• BM:

  • Prevent false positive steering attempts when authorization fails 

  • After a client connection failure, backoff timer is not reset. The correct time is taken by BM. 

• WM: Fixed a corner case. When WiFi driver downgraded the HT mode, the primary channel can now be set correctly and avoid loss of client connectivity

• CM: Force restart managers always after 24h in skipped mode

Notable Enhancements

• Within ovsdb, extend dhcpd field in WiFi_Inet_Config/State table to support multiple routes over DHCP option 121

• FSM and FCM to use unix domain sockets for inter process communication (IPC)

• FSM: 

  • Extended logging for DNS activity in the DPI framework

  • DPI UPnP plugin can be enabled using Kconfig

• OSN: Added localhost interface to miniupnpd config

Platform Support

• Removed OpenSync Gateway/Extender target from QCA template. Instead please refer to the reference design. 

• Improved multicast exceptions on BCM platforms

In Development *

• Band steering algorithm change request (from counters to timer)

* Features which are still in development are disabled by default, and will not be supported in this release.
