Published December 3, 2025.

After installing this upgrade, make sure to start Brainz before the Router. More details are in the upgrade notes.

  • Fix potential transfer problems of transferring agents between organizations when running routers in grace mode.
  • Provide internal metrics under new endpoint /api/v1/internal-metrics.
  • Keep ownership when transferring an agent or router to another organization.
  • Statistics can now be pruned with vcli stats prune ... command and via the API with a DELETE /api/v1/stats.
  • In DNS traffic routing, reply with a NOERROR instead of a SERVFAIL if we do not have any records to respond in the DNS traffic router.
  • When filtering vcli results, the new accept-empty flag allows empty results without giving an error.
  • ACME certificate acquisition timeout is configurable with acme-timeout parameter.
  • Retry failed ACME certificate acquisitions after five minutes.
  • ACME CAA checks got more resilient regarding NXDOMAIN DNS responses.
  • Extended ACME related log messages.

  • Allow for schema-less base urls.
  • vcli can now read the password from the environment variable VARNISH_CONTROLLER_CLI_PASSWORD.
  • UI: Added support for ACME upstream validations (DNS only).
  • UI: Fixed a status alert bug related to the controller license.
  • UI: Fixed a bug related to disappearing routing rules in VCL Groups.
