Changelog

Latest updates and improvements to StacksAtlas.

v1.2.3

Latest Release

Released April 18, 2026


Ecosystem Expansion: OpenAVC
  • Official OpenAVC Integration Plugin

    Released the first-party StacksAtlas bridge for the OpenAVC platform. Enables real-time 'Network Pulse' status cards on AV control surfaces.

  • Aggregate Security Audit Engine

    New dedicated API endpoint for lightweight, system-wide security posture reporting. Perfect for dashboard integrations and environmental health monitoring.

  • Managed PBKDF2 Service Integration

    Seamless hand-off between StacksAtlas API Keys and the OpenAVC runtime, ensuring industrial-grade security with zero-config overhead.

Bug Fixes
  • Intelligent First-Run Redirection

    Fixed an issue where fresh installations would incorrectly open to the Login page. The appliance now detects its initialization state and automatically guides users to the Setup Wizard.

  • Enterprise License ID Normalization

    Added support for legacy Enterprise variant IDs (1221292), ensuring that all premium license tiers are correctly recognized across different purchase cycles.

  • Precision Device Identification

    Refined the identification engine to eliminate 'false positive' consumer matches. Cisco network infrastructure and Canon PTZ cameras are now correctly classified with industrial priority.

  • Zero-Trust Device Discovery

    Hardened the discovery engine to eliminate 'Ghost Devices' caused by stale ARP caches. Every neighbor is now actively verified before appearing online.

  • Industrial ARP Resilience

    Improved scanner compatibility for managed network hardware. Real devices are no longer marked offline if they prioritize ICMP over ARP discovery packets.

  • Universal Diagnostic Sync

    Running a Traceroute or Deep Scan now automatically promotes the target device to 'Online' status, ensuring immediate consistency across the entire command center.

UI & Documentation Refinement
  • High-Performance Interactive Changelog

    Complete refactor of the release history UI with real-time search, collapsible entries, and optimized filtering logic.

  • Standardized Iconography System

    Unified industrial-grade icons across all historical release notes for consistent visual governance.

v1.2.2

Released April 13, 2026


Discovery & Scanning Resilience
  • Industrial Ghost-Ping Suppression

    Implemented a 'Physical Reality Check' for all scans. If a sweep returns suspiciously high counts (>85%), a mandatory triple-verification loop is triggered automatically.

  • Socket & Resource Awareness

    Nmap discovery now monitors OS network buffers for 'Resource temporarily unavailable' errors, aborting unreliable scans rather than reporting false data during system load.

  • Parallelism Jitter Optimization

    Added randomized micro-delays (0-20ms) to parallel pings to distribute peak network stack pressure and prevent packet reflections.

Appliance Deployment & Security
  • Dynamic Port & Restart Management

    Full UI-driven control over HTTP/HTTPS ports with a graceful, persistent restart-and-migrate workflow. No command-line access required.

  • Premium API Docs (Scalar)

    Replaced standard Swagger with a beautiful, high-performance Scalar UI at /api-docs. Securely gated behind Admin roles for internal development.

  • HTTPS Trust Maturity (CA Certs)

    Upgraded self-signed certificate generation with modern .NET 10 APIs and 'Basic Constraints: CA=True' to satisfy strict browser trust requirements.

  • Industry Standard API Keys

    Built a robust PBKDF2 hashed token system for external API access, replacing the legacy static JWT model with individually revocable keys and usage auditing.

  • Licensing Strategy Pivot

    Updated the engine to support our new commercial accessibility tiers: Free (50 devices) | Pro (100 devices) | Enterprise (Unlimited).

v1.2.1

Released April 5, 2026


macOS & Security Maturity
  • Native macOS Discovery Engine

    Implemented a passive 'Stage 0' discovery layer using netstat and arp for instantaneous device recognition on Darwin, bypassing traditional socket throttling.

  • RBAC & Security Hardening

    Refined Role-Based Access Control to allow 'Normal' users read-only access to Dashboards, Topology, and Alert History while strictly gating administrative settings.

  • Zero-Config Nmap Automation

    Automatic path resolution for Nmap on macOS (Homebrew or Bundle paths) with hardened privileged execution for OS fingerprinting.

Infrastructure & Automation
  • Professional Cloud Distribution (R2)

    Replaced manual fulfillment uploads with an automated Cloudflare R2 pipeline. All installers now support versioned permalinks.

  • Self-Hosted Windows Builder

    Integrated native Windows MSI generation with industrial code signing into the global CI/CD pipeline.

  • Master Build Orchestration

    New root-level automation script for 'One-Click' build, sign, distribute, and git-sync operations.

  • Universal Safe-Deployment Gates

    Implemented 'Neutral Skip' logic across all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux/Docker) to prevent accidental public releases while keeping the CI dashboard green.

v1.2.0

Released March 28, 2026


Cross-Platform & Infrastructure
  • Native Docker & macOS Support

    StacksAtlas can now be deployed natively on Apple Silicon/Intel Macs and any Linux server (Ubuntu, Synology, Unraid) via Docker!

  • Nmap-Powered Discovery Engine

    Resolved the 'Ghost Ping' bug on Linux by pivoting to a native Nmap discovery backend, ensuring 100% accurate device counts in Docker.
