The first maintenance release of the 5.6 series of NAV is now out! The source code is available for download at GitHub [1]. New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual. Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config. Fixes ===== - Ensure event variables are always posted in transactions, so the event engine does not accidentally end up processing incomplete event information (#2594) - Report broken cache configuration as an error in Ranked Statistics tool, rather than taking down the whole NAV site (#2561, #2563) - Show error message on invalid ip address in ipdevinfo (#2590, #2589) - Link to correct room in room report if room has a space in its name (#2593, #2592) - Work around duplicate internal serial numbers in Juniper equipment by trusting data only from the device with t he lowest entity index (#2583, #2493) - Make save function in AlertHistory, EventHistory and AlertQueue atomic (#2594) - Ignore LDAP server referral responses, rather then erroring out during the login process (#2576, #1166) - Include the new_version variable in alert message templates for device hw/fw/sw upgrades (#2565) - Update NAV blog widget to use the new blog URL (#2585) - Handle invalid IP address input in ipdevinfo device searches gracefully, rather then crashing with a 500 error (#2589, #2590) - Fix broken links to room details from room report for rooms with spaces in their names (#2592, #2593) Release notes ============= We always advise you to have a look at NAV's accompanying release notes [3] before upgrading.
