Tailscale v1.98.4

Tailscale updated from v1.96.5 to v1.98.4.

Upstream changelog highlights (full changelog)

v1.98.4 — All Platforms

• Fixed a deadlock when processing peer changes while disconnecting from the Tailscale control server.

v1.98.3 — Linux

• Fixed an issue where netfilter rules could be applied inconsistently after a netfilter mode change failed. Connmark and CGNAT rules are now applied only after the active netfilter mode is successfully updated.

v1.98.2 — All Platforms

• Go runtime updated to 1.26.3.
• Fixed a regression where MagicDNS stopped resolving tailnet hostnames after a network change.

v1.98.1 — Linux

• IP forwarding for subnet routers and exit nodes is now surfaced as a health check, with a warning when misconfigured.

v1.98.1 — All Platforms

• Expired preferred peer addresses are cleared faster, reducing the time to elect an alternative peer.

Packaging changes

• Added instructions.md (now required by start-cli), surfaced as the Instructions tab in the StartOS UI after install.
• Fixed CI build pipeline: JavaScript is now compiled explicitly before packaging, ensuring clean builds from a fresh checkout.
