  • Added almalinux as a know derivative of rhel (ENT-7644)
  • Added class to prevent hub from seeding binary packages for use in self upgrade (ENT-7544)
  • Added cleanup of database and status semaphore when federation target_state is off (ENT-7233)
  • Added custom promise python library
  • Added distributed_cleanup utility for Federated Reporting (ENT-7215)
  • Added fallback logic for determining installed software version on Windows (ENT-7501)
  • Added lsmod to well known paths (CFE-3790)
  • Added script to cleanup artifacts after cfbs build (CFE-3781)
  • Added self upgrade support for SUSE (ENT-7446)
  • Added separate classes for controlling autorun inputs and bundles The class services_autorun continues to enable both automatic inclusion of .cf files in services/autorun and the running of bundles tagged with autorun. This change adds the classes services_autorun_inputs and services_autorun_bundles for independently enabling addition of .cf files in services/autorun and automatic execution of bundles tagged with autorun respectively. (CFE-3715)
  • Added support for downloading community packages on hub in preparation for binary upgrades
  • Added variable for excluding files from Policy Analyzer (ENT-7684)
  • Adjusted badges for 3.18.0 release (ENT-6713)
  • Adjusted permissions for Mission Portal public tmp files (ENT-7261)
  • Autorun bundles now run regardless of locks Previously, when the autorun feature was enabled to automatically run bundles tagged with autorun the bundle actuation was affected by promise locking. The effect of this is that agent runs that happen close together would skip running bundles run within the last minute. Now autorun bundles no longer wait for a lock to expire, they will be actuated each agent execution. Note, promises within those bundles have their own locks which still apply. (CFE-3795)
  • Dropped un-necessary local variable The use of this local variable triggers a bug that prevents datastate() from printing. Since the variable is un-necessary, it’s been removed and the parameter is used directly. (CFE-3776)

  • Fixed package module augments settings usage for pre 3.15.3 binaries (ENT-7356, ENT-7358)

  • Moved httpd.pid to root of httpd workdir (ENT-7966)
  • Physical Memory (MB) inventory now handles dmidecode MB or GB units (ENT-7714)
  • Promised permissions for Mission Portal application and Apache log files This change ensures that both Mission Portal and Apache log files have restrictive permissions. Previously this was un-managed. (ENT-7730)
  • Reduced scope of report informing of missing systemd service (CFE-290, ENT-7360)
  • Removed build dir from install/dist targets (ENT-7359)
  • Removed stale CMDB inventory policy (CFE-3712)
  • Set apache umask to 0177 (ENT-7948)
  • State changes of systemd services during agent run are now properly registered (CFE-3753)
  • Stopped enforcing permissions of modules in inputs This change removes explicit enforcement of permissions for modules in inputs. Instead of explicitly enforcing permissions in inputs, we rely on the default permissions (600). The previous explicit permissions (755) are un-necessary as modules are not executed from within the inputs directory and have resulted in permission flip-flopping in some environments. Permissions on modules in the modules dir (sys.workdir)/modules are still enforced. (ENT-7733)
  • Switched from using package_method generic to default package_module for windows software inventory (ENT-2589)
  • Improved the reliability when detecting a Red Hat system. Now if the ID field in /etc/os-release is set to rhel, the redhat_pure class will be defined. If the variable sys.os_release does not exist, redhat_pure is defined if we have already defined redhat and we do not find classes for well known derivatives
  • rocky, a class defined on Rocky Linux was added to the list of well known derivatives (ENT-7628)
  • Added advisory lock for Federated Reporting operations (ENT-7474)
  • controls/cf_serverd.cf no longer specifies explicit default for bindtointerface and relies on the default binding to both :: and 0.0.0.0 on IPV6-enabled hosts (ENT-7362)
  • setup-status.json is no longer being repaired over and over on FR feeder hubs (ENT-7967)

3.18.0

  • Added tail & tail_n to standard library (CFE-3558)
  • Added vars.mpf_admit_cf_runagent_shell to control admission for cf-runagent requests (ENT-6673)
  • Added verbose logfile for msiexec package module file installs (ENT-6220, ENT-6824)
  • Changed default behavior of policy update to keep inputs in sync with masterfiles Prior to this change, the default behavior of the MPF was to only ensure that files in masterfiles were up to date with the files in inputs. Files in inputs that did not exist in masterfiles were left undisturbed. To enable sync behavior (a common user expectation) you had to explicitly define cfengine_internal_purge_policies. Now, if you wish to return to the previous default behavior, define the class cfengine_internal_purge_policies_disabled. Ticket: (CFE-3662)
  • Changed msiexec package module install logs to be unique for each msi file (ENT-6824)
  • Disabled TLSv1 by default for Mission Portal’s web server (ENT-6783)
  • Do not apply redirect from index.php to internal APIs (ENT-6464)

  • Added /usr/bin/yum to paths.cf for aix (CFE-3615)
