Malcolm v23.08.0 is a minor release with a few improvements, bug fixes and component updates.
EDIT: I've discovered a regression in the Hedgehog Linux startup script that formats drives to make them available for artifact capture. I'm investigating now. If this affects you, you might want to avoid this release until I put out a patch.
-
Features and enhancements
- Rewrote the Network Traffic Artifact Upload interface and backend, replacing the defunct jQuery-File-Upload with FilePond. This was mainly due to jQuery-File-Upload no longer receiving security fixes and having some known vulnerabilities. see idaholab#235
- Use netbox-initializers plugin, adding the ability to drop YAML files for various NetBox obects to be preloaded at startup. see idaholab#228

-
