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-repo1.6-1): the deb822.sourcesformat stops apt warning on Debian 13 about the deprecated.listformat, and the signing key is now scoped withSigned-Byinstead of being globally trusted - Add the
openwrt-hwprobearchitecture 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
RIPEreference-id in network byte order, correcting it on big-endian architectures - Take the MAC address from the default-route interface, read from
/procand/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.
