Release notes
Every released version of Outpost has a note here. Read the one for the version you are moving to, and read every note between your current version and it: the upgrade notes are cumulative and one of them may need a step before you start.
Depot
- Depot 0.8.0
Role management, permissions for each remote access mode, every framework on every plan, recording off by default, and Linux packages.
- Depot 0.6.0
Distribution-aware vulnerability findings, script delivery evidence, terminal controls, policy previews, and Windows device management (preview).
- Depot 0.0.0
Example release note. Not a real release. It shows the shape every Depot release note follows.
Agent
- Agent 0.4.0
Remote sessions with no time limit run past 24 hours, and the tray app says when live chat is not part of your plan.
- Agent 0.3.0
Linux package identity for distribution-aware vulnerability checks, script policy confirmation, terminal controls, and host firewall reporting.
What is in a note
Section titled “What is in a note”Each note has the same seven sections, in the same order, with the same anchors. A section with nothing in it is left out, except upgrade notes, which always says something even when that something is that there is nothing to do.
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Highlights | The two or three changes most people care about. |
| Added | Behavior that was not there before. |
| Changed | Behavior that existed and now works differently. |
| Fixed | Problems that no longer happen. |
| Security | Security fixes, with severity and exposure. |
| Known issues | What is shipping broken, with the workaround. |
| Upgrade notes | What to do beyond installing the new version. |
Channels
Section titled “Channels”A version reaches you through one of four channels, and a note says which:
- stable is what you install in production.
- rc is a release candidate, published so that a deployment can test against it before it becomes stable.
- qa and dev are internal lanes. Notes for them appear here only when a change is worth reading about early.
Versions and components
Section titled “Versions and components”Components are versioned separately, because they release separately. Depot, the Agent and Tray each have their own numbering, and a Depot version does not imply an Agent version. Where a version of one requires a version of another, the upgrade notes say so.
Related
Section titled “Related”- Known issues, for problems open right now across every version.
