4.1.1

Small hotfix for 4.1.0:

• Fix profile combo in UI not selecting the actual current profile

4.1.0

Changes since 4.0.1:

• Update internal API to use eduvpn-common 1.1.0
  • Fixes OAuth issues with version 2 servers (empty refresh tokens on getting new tokens with a refresh token), fixes #521
  • Makes sure tokens are kept in sync between client and lib with a callback
  • Secure Internet: The default home location is chosen on adding
• Sort profiles and locations in CLI and UI, fixes #523
• Failover: The procedure that tries to detect issues with UDP connectivity
  • Support failover for OpenVPN, fixes #519
  • If failover was unable to determine connectivity issues but it took longer than normal (meaning: after the 2 second timeout where we try to get a pong from the server), a "reconnect with TCP" button is shown in the UI. For the CLI a --tcp flag is added, fixes #519
  • Use the first available IP in the subnet for the WireGuard gateway, for OpenVPN we request the gateway IP from NetworkManager
• CLI
  • Various fixes with regards to connecting, e.g. supplying an organisation ID previously resulted in an error
  • Clarify in flags help when a server is added fresh
  • Hide change location in Let's Connect!
• Misc
  • Hide the connection validity text when connecting
  • Be sure the renew session button is hidden when not connected
  • Update issues URL to link to the Linux client repo instead of eduvpn-common
  • Update desktop files with the correct name, fixes #522

4.0.0

This release is a new major version for eduVPN / Let's Connect!.

Upgrade notice

We have moved to a new repository for this major version.
See our documentaton on how to add this repository and install the new version. Adding the repository and then updating should be enough to get the newer version.

This implementation uses a new format for storing the configuration files. You will need to add your servers again.

Changes

This release refactors the whole app using the eduvpn-common Go library. Since 3.1.0 the changes are as follows:

Fixes

#515/#481 - The OAuth library/implementation we use now is built in house and fixes this
#478/#465 - A profile expander is shown now
#467 - The CLI has been rewritten to be more user friendly and work correctly with the V3 API
#434 - Most tests are now in the Go library that sets up a local network
#428 - Proper imeouts are now used
#426 - A renew session button is shown with accordance to the eduVPN specification https://github.com/eduvpn/documentation/blob/v3/API.md#session-expiry
#412 - Prehashed signatures are supported because we use the official minisign go library in the eduvpn-common codebase
#405 - The CLI now works correctly and should be more user friendly, especially if the interactive mode is used
#374 - Let's Connect! now also has a CLI
#351 - No longer a warning should be shown
#336 - Implemented
#335 - Exceptions are now shown in an error revealer similar to other clients
#333 - Implemented
#255 - We now implement it according to the eduVPN specification
#253 - Removing a connection is now possible by right clicking on a server

New features/Improvements that are not mentioned yet

• OAuth has a check for the new ISS parameter if the server supports it (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9207/)
• A server is now added instead of immediately connected, making it the same as other clients. The old behaviour can be toggled in the settings
• Let's Connect!/eduVPN now uses completely separate configurations
• Keyring implementation using Dbus to securely store OAuth tokens
• WireGuard to OpenVPN failover (if UDP is blocked)
• Remove settings & help page and use an info page instead
• Dark theme support (set your GTK_THEME environment variable)

Package maintainers

The new dependency eduvpn-common needs to be packaged. See the instructions on the eduvpn-common documentation page
