Changelog¶

WAPT-2.3 Serie¶

WAPT-2.3.0.13516 (2023-02-23)¶

hash : 69968974

This is a bugfix release for WAPT 2.3.

Attention

When upgrading from WAPT 2.2.3 to WAPT 2.3, when installing the new waptsetup.exe 2.3, if the waptagent.exe 2.2.3 had previously been installed ON the management machine ABOVE the waptsetup.exe 2.2.3, then the org certificate located in wapt\ssl directory of the agent belonged to the waptagent.exe 2.2.3 InnoSetup installation instead of being a local file, and was removed during upgrade to waptsetup.exe 2.3, which handles certificate deployment differently.

Now, in the case a waptagent.exe has been installed above a waptsetup.exe install, the certificates in wapt\ssl will be preserved during upgrade. This should happen only on the managemnent machine that is used to rebuild the agent if the agent has been re-installed above the waptsetup.exe install.

Note

The RHEL9 repository are how signed with a sha256 key/digest

WAPT Agent¶

[IMP] waptsetup.exe : backup <wapt>\ssl\*.crt before upgrading and restore after install
[UPD] when building waptagent, check that there is at least one trusted cert for packages and actions
[UPD] be more relax on waptagent setup naming: if setup exename “starts” with waptagent, assume we can safely use the configuration inside when running silently
[IMP] waptsetup: don’t ask innososetup to close applications using Microsoft Windows RestartManager. Use specific process name instead.

hash : c7fcb3a7

Attention

All the previous version of the 2.3 branch have an issue with the creation of the waptagent.exe due to a expiring code signing certificate. If you need to create a new WAPT Agent, please upgrade to this version.

The error message that you will get is “Error while creating waptagent.exe: Checking hashes of executables on server against Tranquil IT certificate has failed. Please check if waptbinaries.sha256 has not been altered.”

What’s New?¶

1000+ bugfixes
Less issues with false positive with antivirus software when deploying a new agent: WAPT Agents do not need to be rebuilt. The WAPT Agent is based on waptsetup.exe with certificate and configuration stored in the certificate signature of the file. The signature of the file is not altered.
WAPT Agent on Linux and macOS: improved workflow for installing and updating the WAPT Agent.
Improved Websocket connexion. Disconnects and reconnects have be made more robust.
Improved support on macOS.
Improved support on Linux.
Update of WAPT external components.
Tech Preview : WAPT Console support on Linux (Debian and derivatives, Redhat and derivatives)
Tech Preview : WAPT Console support on macOS (Mojave and above).

Upgrade details¶

WAPT Server 2.3 needs PostgreSQL 10 or above. Please be sur to have the correct version running, especially if your server is running Debian and has been upgraded from Stretch:

If the WAPT Server is running on Debian or Ubuntu, if you have upgrade from Debian Stretch to Buster to Bullseye, please check that the running instance of PostgreSQL has been upgraded when the OS has been upgraded;
If you are on Redhat 7, upgrade is taken care of in the postconf script, and it should upgrade from 9.6 to 14;
If the WAPT Server is running on Redhat 8 or derivative, then the DB is already in a good version;
If the WAPT Server is running on Windows the DB upgrade is done during the upgrade from 9.6 to 14.
