Key Enhancements
- Data Warehouse: Various improvements and fixes have been applied to enhance the functionality of the data warehouse service used for analytics.
- Embedded Install: We’ve introduced a new embedded cluster installation that deploys k0s and the iceDQ application as a bundled appliance. This simplifies setup and supports easy installation, configuration, and scaling of embedded clusters.
Security
We’ve strengthened all base images to run with the least privileges required, enhancing overall POD security. As part of this effort, 28 unique critical, high and medium vulnerabilities have been fixed across multiple components, including aircompressor, azure-identity, guava, jetty, keycloak, netty, spring, and tomcat-embed-core.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where searching for a parameter key and updating it caused duplicate keys.
- Resolved an issue where script rules with a single parameter override failed with a negative exit code, and other parameters weren’t updated.
- Fixed a problem that blocked users from creating script rules when using external libraries.
- Fixed an issue where valid JAR/Groovy files in libraries were missing status information.
