Varnish Controller 5.2.0 Release

Note: All components needs to be upgraded for this release, see versioning.

The release includes bug fixes and improvements.

• All binaries built with Go 1.20.4
• Various performance improvements to database calls.
• Improved CIDR routing decision that resolves an issue where two CIDR matches resulted in unpredicted match.
• Static tags for private agents/routers are now added to the owner organization.
  • Note: This fix will produce duplicate tags with same name but new IDs, existing tags will still be used for existing deployments.
• VCLI now lists Last Deployed timestamp for deployed VCLGroups.
• Custom kvstore counters are now added correctly to the Varnish Controller statistics.
• Make sure it’s not possible to delete a tag used in a routing decision rule.
• System debug has been reworked to contain more information about the applied configuration for each component.
• Fixed a bug that returned 200 OK when updating an organization with a new name or locked state as a regular user (it was not updated as it’s not allowed). Now 403 Forbidden is returned.
• Compile errors has been extended to also include stderr.
• Possibility to configure how often invalidation retries should be done.
• Added possibility to delete a staged VCLGroup through the regular VCLGroup delete command.
• Added possibility for organization users to stage a VCLGroup.
• Fixed a bug where Staging ID could linger on the VCLGroup after the staged VCLGroup has been deleted.
• Optimize requests and reduce unnecessary ones in the UI.
• Overall improvements to the dashboard and custom equations in the UI.
• Added new column Compile State in VCLGroup table to show last compile status in the UI.
• Added a new column with Last Deployed time in VCLGroup table in the UI.
• Improved how we handle missing permissions and the redirects in the UI.
• Fix so the user can redploy a VCLGroup even if the VCLGroup is stuck in a compiling or deploying state in the UI.
• Fixed a bug when compiling a VCL file under certain conditions couldn’t recognize the includes in the UI.
• Other optimizations, improvements and bug fixes in the UI.
