Release v4.2.0

DTail v4.2.0 Release Notes

This release enhances DTail's security posture and improves the overall user experience with better documentation organization and configuration options.

Security Enhancements

SSH Configuration Hardening

  • Added support for configuring allowed SSH key exchange algorithms, cipher algorithms, and MAC (Message Authentication Code) algorithms
  • Server administrators can now restrict which cryptographic algorithms are permitted for SSH connections, improving security compliance
  • New configuration options: KeyExchanges, Ciphers, and MACs in the server config

Improvements

Better Project Organization

  • Moved example configuration files from samples/ to examples/ directory for clearer naming
  • Updated all documentation to reference the new example file locations
  • Renamed sample files to use .example extension for better clarity (e.g., dtail.json.sample → dtail.json.example)

Documentation Updates

  • Updated installation guide with corrected file paths and examples
  • Improved clarity in setup instructions for systemd service configuration
  • Enhanced monitoring setup documentation

Code Quality

  • Fixed typo in client stats documentation ("recieved" → "received")
  • Updated Go module dependencies to latest versions
  • Version bump to 4.2.0

Migration Notes

If you're upgrading from a previous version:

  1. Configuration Files: Update any scripts or documentation that reference the old samples/ directory to use examples/ instead
  2. SSH Security: Review your server configuration to optionally specify allowed SSH algorithms for enhanced security
  3. File References: Update any automation that copies example files to use the new .example file extensions

Files Affected

  • Configuration examples moved from samples/ to examples/
  • Installation documentation updated with new paths
  • Server configuration enhanced with SSH algorithm options
  • Dependencies updated to latest stable versions

This release maintains full backward compatibility while providing new security configuration options for production deployments.
