GalleonOS Version 13 - Patch Notes
Note:
Only publicly released versions are listed below.
Versions not shown were used for internal development and testing purposes.
Version 13 #224
Dashboard
NTS-7000 Series Support: Added support for dual power supplies in the NTS-7000 series. The dashboard now displays the status of both PSUs for improved visibility and diagnostics.
SNMP
Improved Default Configuration: The default SNMP configuration has been updated to include clearer comments and more sensible default settings.
SNMP Disabled by Default: SNMP is now disabled by default to enhance security and reduce unnecessary network exposure.
Best Practice Note: Using SNMP to check NTP synchronization is not recommended. Instead, use a probe to query the NTP port directly, this verifies both connectivity and synchronization status.
NTP
Migrated to ntpsec: The legacy ntpd service has been retired and replaced with ntpsec, enabling support for NTS (Network Time Security).
NTS Requirements: For NTS to function correctly, ports 123/UDP and 4460/TCP must be accessible. A signed certificate must also be configured on the device.
Calibration Graph
Performance Improvement: The calibration graph now loads significantly faster, improving the user experience.
Logs
Enhanced Logging: Internal services now output more detailed log information to aid in diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Firmware
File Format Validation: The firmware update interface now accepts only .gos files, preventing installation of outdated or incompatible .gfw files.
Soft Factory Reset: Added a "Clear Settings" option, allowing users to perform a soft factory reset without needing to reinstall the firmware.
System Information
Serial Number Display: The system information page now includes the device's serial number, simplifying remote support and inventory management.
Version 13.191
This update introduces several improvements aimed at enhancing usability and compatibility:
Improved Help Text: The web interface now includes significantly expanded help text throughout, reducing the need to refer to the physical manual and streamlining the user experience.
Update Support for Legacy Versions: This version includes the necessary software updates to enable seamless patching for users currently on Version 12.#11, bringing them fully up to date with Version 13.#191.
Version 13.172
Enhancements to NTP Calibration Graph:
The graph now displays only the last 24 hours of data.
This change significantly improves performance and prevents long loading times on systems with extended uptime or extensive historical data.
Introduced color-coded visualization for calibration status:
Red indicates the system is currently calibrating.
Green indicates the system is calibrated.
This visual cue provides at-a-glance insight into synchronization status, improving user experience and system monitoring efficiency
Version 13.165
New Feature:
Introduced NTP Calibration Graph, a new diagnostic tool that allows administrators to visually monitor and analyse time synchronization accuracy.
This feature provides historical graphing of time drift and correction trends, aiding in long-term performance tuning and diagnostics.
Version 13.117
Security Updates:
OpenSSH updated to OpenSSH_9.1p1 to improve compatibility and security.
OpenSSL updated from 1.1.1s to 3.0.14, delivering enhanced cryptographic support, performance improvements, and addressing multiple known vulnerabilities.
These updates ensure compliance with modern encryption standards and improve overall system security.
Version 13.102
Web Service Upgrade:
Nginx upgraded from version 1.20.2 to 1.24.0.
This update includes improved HTTP/2 handling, bug fixes, and performance enhancements for more stable and efficient web service operation.
Version 13.98
NTP Service Update:
Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon upgraded from 4.2.8p15@1.3728-o to 4.2.8p18@1.4062-o.
The upgrade brings improved timekeeping accuracy, updated leap second support, and bug fixes for better synchronization reliability.
