8.2.6 GA Release and Downloads (September 17, 2024)

Renamed the nMonitor 'P3 Profanity' Category to 'P3 Hate Speech'.

Resolved an issue that would cause Javascript errors when attempting to load a Report Filter when there was no available Report of the selected type.

Client Filter Brands would errantly allow spaces after the Brand Name.

Group Quick reports were not displaying after switching tabs in the Groups window and then switching back to the Quick Reports tab.

Added the new Netsweeper 8.2 GA category 'No Certificate' for NSProxy.

Modifying a URL entry Request Part to an identical existing entry would cause the Popup-box to freeze, preventing the logged-in user from pressing any buttons or resolving the error.

The old nsef-linux/lib SNI parsing would only look at the first data packet in a stream.

Added new APIs for managing Account IP ranges, account_iprange_list, account_iprange_query, account_iprange_delete and account_iprange_add have been added.

Policy Service 'request_read_timeout' could be triggered by TCP Window Scaling under high load, causing potential logging connections to be reset.

Exporting Report data would include a keyword list column called 70.

Account Importing would fail to properly handle empty string time formats as well as non-existing templates.

Real-time monitoring graphs were not displaying Historical Data.

Exporting Client Filter settings would not export the unique 'per-platform Brands' properly.

Realtime Monitoring Graphs 'Counter32 MIBS' could sometimes reset to 0 causing graphs to show the current value of metric instead of the expected, incrementation change.

The 'Policies' menu icon was duplicated in WebAdmin hierarchal menu. We have updated the 'Policies' , 'Tools' and "Administration' icons in the menu, in order to ensure they all have unique icons.

SysOps with the 'Modify Group Policy Local List' permission, but without the 'Lists' permission were unable create and manage the Local List for their respective Group Policies.

NSProxy Bandwdith events could cause recursive function calls when a socket was in error.

The Request Log rotation code in 7.2.15, 8.1.10 and 8.2.5 could abort when no log entries were available to flush.

The start.app Client Filter Event would use the cookie's Brand instead of the Brand in the request.

The 'Manage All Accounts' permission did not allow a SysOp to assume the identity of another SysOp Account.

Admin Accounts without permission to the WebAdmin Settings window would still see the option in the menu, although selecting it would cause an error page. We have now removed visibility to the menu item for Accounts that don't have the permission.

Enabled a new 'orgid' field for the logging infrastructure as a default when upgrading to the 8.2.6 release.

The old NSEF-Linux REGEXP SNI parser would not parse the hostname in a second packet if the packet was perfectly segmented on a TLS extension header.

The 'Request Logs' charts could present inaccurate data.

Sysop users could see duplicate List entries when using the List Search function.

Setting the Policy Service 'max_disk_usage_size' to a value of '-1' or '0' would errantly set it to the default value of 1 GB.

The Deny page portal flag was always set in the group/portal selectize.

Netsweeper has modified the category definitions in revision 28 for the 8.2.6 release. We have added new 'Generative AI' and 'Cryptocurrency' categories; and we have updated certain Category Definitions and Examples.

Deleting a WebAdmin Account did not clean up the assignment of Templates.

Enabling the Platform, Brand, or Version logger_fields in the Policy Server in 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 would cause a memory leak for each Log entry.

The 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 releases could get a database error when a SysOp would use the List Manager with the 'Organization' Lists permission

The 'Move IP' and 'Dynamic Client API' now have an adjustable delay, in order to avoid configuration reloading issues.

The 9.1.1 release could get a database error when a SysOp would use the List Manager with the 'Organization' Lists permission.
