7.7.0 Released https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/releases/tag/7.7.0
NEW:
- add RoL Rpi4 test steps to eden GCP workflow 🎉
Now the first implementation of the cli and rest api of the Rack of Labs system is ready. But it is in the stage of active development and testing, and at this stage, we think it is inappropriate to include it as part of EDEN. RoL was added to the Github Actions together with the Google Cloud Platform. - Add debug.enable.vga support 📺
We only return VGA devices that were marked as boot devices.Console output won't be visible on others anyway. It also allows us to debug issues using VGA console while other GPUs are still assigned to applications - Implement ZFS minimum requirement check ☑️
Minimum supported system requirements to install ZFS storage is 64GB memory and 3 physical disks set in eve_persist_disk. eve_install_skip_zfs_checks should be set in the installation config to override the requirement check for experimental installs. - Use context with timeout in sending to the cloud functions ⏱
We can possibly consume a long time when we try to send information to the cloud with long delays/a lot of interfaces. We add context with a timeout to not hit watchdog. - zfs: performance patches 🏎
Patches significantly reduce the write amplification, therefore less data needs to be written, and fewer unnecessary syncs are issued. Another feature introduced in the patches is the write bandwidth smoothing algorithm which prevents huge latency spikes under the heavy load on the storage.
FIX:
- Rework zfs_arc_max get logic 🛠
Zedmanager asks volummgr to create the new volume, and when that is done it halts the application and restarts it. - Fix dynamic IPs allocation for several interfaces in the same network 🛠
If we allocate several interfaces on the same network instance all of them receive the same IP. It comes because we save and check only networkInstance - app pairs, so, we can allocate only one IP. We moved UUIDPairToNum to UUIDPairAndIfIdxToNumKey and allow to allocate different appNum (and IPs) for different interfaces on the same networkInstance.

EVE 7.7.0 https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/releases/tag/7.6.0
NEW:
- limit dhcp range with BitMapMax
We cannot allocate more than BitMapMax dynamic IPs so seems we can reduce the capacity of dhcp range down to it. In that case for default network instance (/16) we will not hit the problem with allocated static IPs from the end (and inside) of dhcp range comes from the controller. - kernel: make patches am-able
Only a few of our patches can be applied using `git am`. This commit turns all the patches into a proper format. This makes it a bit easy to kick-start new kernel activity. - appinfo for local profile server implementation
Implementation for sending compact info (uuid, name, state and error) about apps on EdgeNode to api/v1/appinfo endpoint on local profile server. - Add ipxe.efi to release artifacts
ipxe.efi will be published with ipxe.efi.cfg and ipxe.efi.ip.cfg
FIX:
- fix broken calculation of downloaded parts for azure ☁️
In case of successfully downloading the last part (it is a special one, which is in general not equal SingleMB), on retry we can hit. The range specified is invalid for the current size of the resource because of the wrong check for the last partNum (Developer mistakenly checked not for partNum == partsCount - 1 in #2420) and we hit the situation with downloading 0 bytes starting from the end of the file. In this PR I removed complex logic and just check if the range for download is greater than 0 or not. - fix make-raw to properly handle stdin and to not adjust partitions for usbconf 🧹
It comes from lines where we check for /parts and if it does not exist, we extract file comes from tar in stdin. But /parts exist, we create it in Dockerfile. So, the developer adds a check for tty connected to stdin, if not, we assume that it is a pipe from tar. - Remove unused package 🧹
There is a CVE flagged against a dependency in pkg/lisp and since we no longer use it the easiest resolution is to remove the code.

EVE 7.5.0 https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/releases/tag/7.5.0
NEW:
- Reserve space to maintain performance in ZFS 💾
It is recommended that storage usage should not go above 80% of available space. Because pool performance can degrade when a pool is very full and file systems are updated frequently, such as on a busy mail server. - parse-pkgs generates all known; docker-compose standardized 🧹
The primary benefit of this change is that it lets the compose file be standard. This makes it easier for editors to see and parse, people onboarding to find. It also allows a normal docker-compose up to simply execute it, while complaining that the env vars were not set. In short, we take advantage of standard tooling without changing functionality. - sort disks in mount_disk.sh 🗂
In case of multiple disks, we will have unordered output from find and can have swapped mounts.
as we expect this order from VM config (we rely on the same order between lines in mountPoints file and block device enumeration.) - pkg: grub: arm: moving to 2.06 ⬆️
Use grub tag instead of commit for arm64 and riscv64. Grub verify module is no longer available for build under arm with grub version 2.06. Grub verify module is no longer available for build under arm with grub version 2.06. Now coreutils package is used for arm too. - pkg: kernel: moving to 5.10.76 version ⬆️
As a result of testing, updating the kernel to 5.10.76 helps to eliminate the error -Synchronous exception at 0x000000005EAED180 on the RPi4 with hypervizor kvm. Previously, the error occurred when starting, restarting, and shutting down EVE App instances with a 5% chance.
FIX:
- block sending stacks in metrics message 🛠
there was a bug that caused the process stack collection to be always null, which was fixed in ec37884. but that fix caused the metrics message size to be more than doubled, e.g. on 'zc1' from 470k/hour before to 1.23M/hour after that fix, about 20Mbytes/day increase for that device. This patch is to skip uploading the process stack in metrics message to bring down the metrics message size to pre 6.12 release. - Euresys Frame Grubber Full XR doesn't work under VM 🛠
The PCIe card works fine on bare metal but doesn't work under VM. Neither Linux nor Windows. - Fix wrong permission with initrd.img 🛠
docker run lfedge/eve:tag installer_net to create network installer the output file initrd.img gets 600 instead of 644

EVE 7.4.0 https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/releases/tag/7.4.0
NEW:
- Do not allow to impose radio silence during EVE update testing
If edge node is going through EVE update and radio silence is imposed during the 10 minutes testing period, then the access to the controller may be lost and device will fallback to the previous release. This is in violation with the radio silence requirements, which state that edge node should not trigger port config or EVE image fallback during a (temporarily) imposed radio silence. To prevent the EVE fallback from happening, zedagent will simply return error back to the Local profile server if radio silence is requested during EVE update testing period. - azure partial download
This allow us to keep information about downloaded parts for s3 datastore in memory and resume download from the previous try. New updates added Azure support. Also added file with .progress in the end to keep information about downloaded parts across reboots.
FIX:
- configure network broadcast address on container interfaces
Network bcast address on container interfaces is currently not being set. It shows as 0.0.0.0 in ifconfig output from inside the container.
This fix should make sure that ip command while setting the ucast address also computes the bcast address and adds it to interface of containers. - Fix publishedEdgeNodeCerts set too early.
Even in case messages are deferred due to failures we should not set publishedEdgeNodeCerts until after the ZAttestReqType_ATTEST_REQ_CERT message has been sent. - fix an issue of tlsconfig initialization in diag.go
this crash was due to a change in PR #2333 that added at the diag start of init tlsConfig to the session resume, but not the caroot.
this is to remove that init, and during the tryPing time to get the tlsConfig normally and add the session-resume option
