Pulse v6.4.0-rc.10 Release Notes

v6.4.0-rc.10 strengthens alerting as an operational system. Histories survive restarts, alerts can be scheduled and routed more precisely, and new forecasting detects storage risk earlier.

What's improved

• Durable alert lifecycles - Alert history and active state now rebuild from the event log after restarts, with persisted identities migrated automatically and false all-clear states prevented during hydration.
• Better notification control - Alerts can be snoozed individually, maintenance can recur by scope, escalation repeats can target specific destinations, delivery routes can filter by severity, and informational events remain distinct from warnings.
• Earlier capacity warnings - Rolling metric windows and predictive storage forecasts surface sustained pressure and likely exhaustion before a single threshold breach becomes an outage.
• More accurate host disk health - SMART sector, media, endurance, spare, and CRC thresholds can be tuned per host, while empty Unraid slots remain neutral and Proxmox-linked agents avoid duplicate disk-risk alerts.
• External availability monitoring - Dead-man checks can notify when an expected external signal stops arriving, with configuration and recovery state persisted.
• Clearer infrastructure details - Resource drawers, Proxmox backup views, and alert timelines present more complete and consistent context across desktop and narrow layouts.
• Safer governed actions - Docker action results now carry independently observed post-action state, while deployment enrollment and credential changes persist atomically.

Before you upgrade

• This is a release candidate. Stable installations remain on v6.3.2 unless an operator explicitly selects this version.
• Existing configurations remain valid. Alert identity and history migrations run automatically, with no manual data migration required.
• Existing Pulse Mobile iOS build 12 and Android versionCode 9 remain compatible. The new alert_fired push uses the already-supported view_alert action and existing informational severity presentation, so no companion update is required for this candidate.
• Windows Unified Agent binaries are checksum- and detached-signature-verified but are not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show an Unknown Publisher warning.

Known issues

• Windows Authenticode signing remains unavailable for this candidate. Use the published checksum and detached signature when verifying Windows agent downloads.
