Release notes

New features

Peer session expiration notification

The NetBird client will notify users when they peer session expires.

For systems running the GUI client it will send a system notification similar to the example below:

And when there is no CLI running, the daemon service will notify all active terminal sessions as the example below:

Enhancements:

NetBird status command reports DNS server addresses and routes

The netbird status command now reports the DNS server addresses and routes for the peer. This information helps troubleshoot network connectivity issues and verify the network configuration. In the case of a routing client, it will link the active routes to the selected routing peers. See outputs below:

Custom service name in the NetBird service commands

In this version, we received a community contribution that allows custom service names to be configured when installing and managing daemon services. See examples below:

netbird service install --service netbird-custom
netbird service start --service netbird-custom
netbird service stop --service netbird-custom

Big thanks to @nazarewk for this contribution and all the work he is doing in maintaining the NetBird Nix packages up to date.

An additional connection retry mechanism

We have added an additional connection retry mechanism to the client, where even after the client exits its normal connectivity flow, it will try a new connection attempt every hour for 14 days. This is useful for clients that restart right at the moment of a Management service outage and for incorrect management responses that cause the client to exit its other layers of connectivity retries.
