This 5130 release contains the following main changes:

  • Fix NTP measurement offset (#130), which is a regression from the 5120 fix: it reported half the round-trip time instead of the clock offset
  • Move to new registration servers with ed25519 keys
  • Modernise the Debian apt repository (ripe-atlas-repo 1.6-1): the deb822 .sources format stops apt warning on Debian 13 about the deprecated .list format, and the signing key is now scoped with Signed-By instead of being globally trusted
  • Add the openwrt-hwprobe architecture as a common base for the next-generation hardware probe firmware
  • Measurement code
    • Add a minimum gap between NTP requests, 4000 ms by default (#114)
    • Send the NTP RIPE reference-id in network byte order, correcting it on big-endian architectures
    • Take the MAC address from the default-route interface, read from /proc and /sys
    • Use environment-specific SOS servers for SOS calls
    • Support both iproute2 (ip) and net-tools (ifconfig), either satisfies the dependency (reported by Paul Menzel, #147, #148)
  • Other
    • Change default SSH key pair algo to ed25519 for Debian and EL
    • Improve the post-install registration information, with the probe's public key pre-filled in the registration URL
    • Fix RHEL dependencies (libcap, systemd on all EL versions, EL8+) and use modern rpm macros
    • Improve the Debian maintainer scripts, and stop the packaged changelog being trimmed on Debian 12+ (apt changelog)
    • Add libssl3t64 for Debian 13 (authored by Dreista)
    • Fix the OpenWrt package build on 24.10 and 25.12, and mark probe, hwprobe and anchor as conflicting (#146)
    • Fix typo in HTTP_POST_PORT configuration entry (authored by Grant Slater)
    • Wrap the over-long FEATURE_EVTDIG_DEBUG help line in evtdig (authored by Alexandru Ardelean)
    • Hardware probe changes: saved static network configuration so probes boot without a registration reply, unknown architecture handling, reginit APP upgrade, checksum printing on updates
    • Internal cleanups and CI changes

Please note that NTP offsets reported by 5120 are incorrect. The reported round-trip time is unaffected.

This will be our last Debian 11 release, given that its LTS will end on 31 Aug 2026.
