Release v1.11.0

See the v1.11.0 milestone for a complete list of changes.

Breaking

• Logging has switched from logrus to Go's structured slog. Log output changes: levels are upper case
  (level=INFO), trace prints as level=DEBUG-4, timestamps are always RFC3339Nano and logging.timestamp_format
  is ignored, and some messages were reworded. Review any log parsing before upgrading. This is also an API break
  for embedders, as constructors now take a *slog.Logger. (#1672, #1734, #1621)
• firewall.inbound_action and firewall.outbound_action (used to set reject vs. drop policy) were each being
  applied to the opposite direction, that is now corrected. This only affects how blocked packets are answered, not
  which packets the firewall allows or denies. If you set either of these you are getting the behavior of the other
  one today and likely want to swap them before upgrading. (#1798)
• On Windows, Nebula now installs WFP PERMIT filters for the nebula adapter and the listener port by default. WFP
  sits below Windows Defender Firewall, so any WDF inbound rules you rely on for either will no longer apply. Set
  tun.windows_bypass_wdf and listen.windows_bypass_wdf to false to leave WDF in charge. (#1710)
• On Windows, the nebula device is now set to the private network category instead of whatever Windows decided,
  which is usually Public. This makes the host firewall less restrictive on the overlay. Set
  tun.network_category to unset to keep the old behavior. (#1710)
• Reject packets for non-TCP now use ICMP code 13, communication administratively prohibited, instead of code 3,
  port unreachable. Anything keying off the old code needs updating. (#1766, #1768)
• The SSH debug server's profiling commands are now confined to sshd.sandbox_dir, which defaults to
  $TMP/nebula-debug. Relative paths resolve inside it and absolute paths outside it are rejected, so anything
  scripting start-cpu-profile, save-heap-profile, or save-mutex-profile with a path elsewhere needs the
  directory set. The directory is not created for you. (#1622)

Added

• Sign the Windows release binaries. (#1718)
• Generate IPv6 reject packets, matching the existing IPv4 behavior. (#1766, #1767, #1768)
• Accept - in nebula-cert to read from stdin or write to stdout. (#1714)
• Search for both config.yml and config.yaml in service and command line modes. (#1717)
• Add version labels to the Docker/OCI images. (#1772)
• Rebind the listener and re-query lighthouses on macOS when the underlay network changes, so devices moving
  between wifi and wired or between networks recover without waiting for dead tunnel detection. Controlled by
  listen.rebind_on_network_change (default true, not reloadable). (#1816)

Changed

• Reload the firewall when the unsafe networks in the certificate change. (#1719)
• Reconfigure, start, and stop the stats listener on a config reload instead of requiring a restart. (#1670)
• Update a static host's addresses when they change on reload. (#1713)
• Don't require a port on ICMP firewall rules. (#1609)
• Connection track ICMP traffic. (#1602)
• Return NODATA instead of NXDOMAIN from the DNS server for a name that exists but has no record of the
  requested type, so clients that query AAAA first (busybox/Alpine) fall through to A. (#1668)
• Record the local host's details in the DNS server. (#1716)
• Install Windows unsafe routes as link routes. (#1709)
• Reduce relay handshake log spam, and only log a handshake send error at error level when the remote list
  changes. (#1733, #1765, #1810)
• Start, stop, and reload subsystems (DNS, stats, conntrack, ssh, punchy) cleanly without leaking goroutines. (#1640, #1654, #1661, #1667, #1669, #1708, #1806, #1815)
• Control is now safe to stop and wait on from any lifecycle state, and a new Control.Wait blocks until nebula
  has fully stopped and returns the first fatal reader error. Failed starts release the udp sockets and tun fd
  instead of leaking them. (#1794)
• Trigger an immediate lighthouse update when reconnecting to or adding a lighthouse instead of waiting for the next update tick. (#1645)
• Bring the Darwin and OpenBSD tun implementations in line with the other BSDs. (#1703)
• Update to build against go v1.26. (#1818)
• Various dependency updates. (#1586, #1587, #1604, #1617, #1618, #1627, #1628, #1629, #1652, #1664, #1665, #1697, #1721, #1732, #1742, #1743, #1750, #1763, #1771, #1782, #1800, #1807)

Fixed

• Fix a data race on a host's remote address that could send packets to the wrong address during a roam. (#1773)
• Fix tunnels that could permanently escape connection manager monitoring. (#1752)
• Fix a crash when reloading the SSH server's trusted keys. (#1787)
• Fix hostmap corruption when a host has multiple overlay addresses. Each address now gets its own list instead of
  a single shared chain, which also fixes two latent bugs on the add and makePrimary paths. (#1788, #1790)
• Apply remote_allow_list IPv4 rules to 4-in-6 mapped addresses. (#1786)
• Don't panic in the DNS server on a short or empty query name. (#1635)
• Advance the replay window on relayed packets so a relay drops replayed frames instead of re-forwarding them. (#1751)
• Fix a race in relay state handling. (#1753)
• Lock replay window updates so concurrent readers can't corrupt it. (#1802)
• Reject malformed handshakes more reliably, including invalid ed25519 key lengths. (#1601, #1756)
• Properly handle closetunnel packets. (#1638)
• Fix an IPv6 extension-header length overflow that could make the firewall parse the wrong protocol and ports. (#1789)
• Fix relay re-establishment when a handshake arrives over a relay entry that a one-sided teardown left
  Disestablished, which silently dropped every send until dead tunnel detection forced a re-handshake. (#1805)
• Don't build new relay state on a tunnel that was just discarded. (#1796)
• Don't delete the wrong pending hostinfo in the handshake manager. (#1811)
• Don't call the packet reader after a UDP error on Darwin. (#1755)
• Open the FreeBSD tun device non blocking. (#1666)
