The initial feature release of the 4.9 series of NAV is now out!
The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].
New packages for Debian 8/9 (Jessie/Stretch) are available in our APT repository [2] as usual.
The Debian packages have been rebuilt using dh-virtualenv, which means that most of the Python dependencies are now embedded into the packages themselves. If you have previously added a priority apt pin for packages from apt.uninett.no, you may now remove it, as there are no longer any other packages needed from that repository to run NAV.
Please also be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist` files in /etc/nav and make sure to update your running config.
The virtual appliance will not be updated until next week.

Hi,
Is there an easy way to revert to the previous version? I upgraded to 4.9. but it seems to broke old layout of the swith port status and the counters aren't updating anymore.

Hi René,
I'm sorry to hear that. None of the database changes in 4.9 seem to be backward-incompatible, so if using Debian, you should easily be able to downgrade using regular apt/dpkg mechanisms.
I suppose `apt-get install nav==4.8.6-1` would do the trick on Debian Squeeze (4.8.6-2stretch on Stretch). You can use `apt-get policy nav` to see which versions are available in your configured repositories.
Please, if you can submit a more detailed bug report, we can fix the issues for 4.9.

Hi Morten,
I succeeded to revert to 4.8.6. unfortunately i dont have the log files for you.
If i have more time, i could try to upgrade again and see if i can find some debug files.
Note to myself... Snapshot the VM first :-)
Kind Regards,
René Romijn

As you may have seen, we've already received more detailed feedback on nav-users. ipdevpoll seems to be broken under 4.9.0, so I would not recommend anyone upgrade until we get the 4.9.1 release out.
Apologies for the inconvenience!
Note to myself... Snapshot the VM first :-)
Never a bad idea when dealing with VMs :)
No problem!
I'll wait for the 4.9.1 version.
I did missed the detailed feedback though.

Hi again Pär,
while we've found the cause of the other issues, I'm not sure where you are getting this error message about DataTables, which makes it hard for me to reproduce the issue. Can you provide more information?
Hi Morten,
We are getting the same errors for ipdevpolld and web interface; the web interface error can be replicated by clicking on report, all ip devices, click on the name of any device.
We operate the VM appliance and we upgraded to 4.9.0 via apt-get.
Regards, Adrian

Looks like it was a browser caching problem. If it appears again I will do a proper debug.

Nah, I cannot reproduce that at all. I'm thinking Pär's diagnosis of "stale browser cache" sounds more plausible. Dump your browser cache and try again?
We operate the VM appliance and we upgraded to 4.9.0 via apt-get.
I see - I'd advise you to downgrade back to 4.8.6 until we can release 4.9.1 (likely tomorrow). We won't update the existing VM appliance download until 4.9.1 is out anyway.
