• JMAP:
  • Email/copy should return alreadyExists when copying a message to a mailbox that already contains it.
  • Email/copy with onSuccessDestroyOriginal destroys the copy's creation id instead of the source Email id.
  • CalendarEvent/set does not generate a uid on create when the client omits it.
  • CalendarEvent/set does not refresh the updated property (iCalendar DTSTAMP) on create or update.
  • EmailSubmission/set rejects valid recipients whose domain is itself a public suffix (e.g. gov.in, co.uk).
  • Requests are rejected with notRequest when a method name contains a JSON-escaped solidus (e.g. Core\/echo).
• MTA: Panic when MTA-STS is disabled and a remote MTA fetched /.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
• Auth: Scoped credentials with SysApiKeyCreate or SysApiKeyUpdate permissions can regain its own account's full rights.
• Web Push: Valid VAPID keys are rejected when PEM-encoded with explicit EC parameters, in SEC1 (EC PRIVATE KEY) format, or with a leading byte-order mark.
• Encryption at rest: Appended messages are encrypted for accounts that did not opt in to encryptOnAppend.
• Cache: Account caches silently discard entries larger than a single quick-cache shard, causing constant database rebuilds.
• Registry: Id references (e.g. #certificate-...) fail to resolve on defaultCertificateId, defaultAdminRoleIds, listenerIds and publicKey.
• Search: reindex drops calendar and contact index tasks for accounts with fewer than a full batch of items.
• Migration: Abort --import when the target already contains data in the key range being imported.
• Cluster: Broadcast subscriber re-subscribes after every message, losing bursts of cluster broadcasts during the reconnect window.
• Enterprise: Per-tenant logo is not shown on the OAuth login password and OTP screens, which are served from the server's canonical host rather than the tenant domain.

Hi,

The OpenWrt community is proud to announce the newest stable release of the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series.

This release fixes many security issues, several of them remotely triggerable in network services that are enabled by default. We strongly recommend everyone to upgrade.

The OpenWrt 24.10 series is in security maintenance (only security problems are fixed), with end of life (EoL) projected for September 2026. We recommend migrating to OpenWrt 25.12 before then.

Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-24.10.8 for the full changelog.

Security fixes

This release fixes several remotely triggerable vulnerabilities in core network
services that are enabled by default. Updating is strongly recommended.

• odhcpd (DHCPv6/DHCPv4/RA server, enabled by default): multiple vulnerabilities reachable by a network-adjacent, unauthenticated attacker were fixed:
  • CVE-2026-53921 (Critical): stack buffer overflow in the DHCPv6 IA reply serialization, triggerable with crafted DHCPv6 REQUEST packets.
    GHSA-7fwx-hhrg-3496
  • Reconfigure-Accept stack buffer overflow (High, no CVE assigned): the Reconfigure-Accept reply block wrote 36 bytes into the response buffer without checking the remaining space, leading to a pre-auth out-of-bounds write.
    https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/security/advisories/GHSA-q6wx-p68j-chp9
  • CVE-2026-53918 (High): use-after-free through a dangling first-lease pointer in the DHCPv6 IA handler.
    GHSA-44ff-jcwh-wgc2
  • CVE-2026-53920 (High): stack memory disclosure via a truncated DHCPv6 IA_NA/IA_PD option.
    GHSA-p769-5v73-pc4f
  • CVE-2026-53922 (Moderate): pre-auth denial of service via a size_t underflow in DHCPv6 IA handling.
    GHSA-7hcw-g2jh-pqv5
  • Zero-length CLIENT_ARCH option (Moderate, no CVE assigned): stack buffer over-read, and an unaligned read that crashes on strict-alignment targets.
    https://github.com/openwrt/odhcpd/security/advisories/GHSA-7x9h-5mxm-jg3f
  • NDP hop-limit spoofing (Moderate, CVSS 5.4, no CVE assigned): the NDP relay accepted IPv6 Neighbor Solicitations with a hop limit other than 255 (RFC 4861 violation), letting an off-link attacker spoof NS packets through the relay. Only relevant when the NDP relay is enabled.
    https://github.com/openwrt/odhcpd/security/advisories/GHSA-qvg7-9jf5-wgjc
• odhcpd / LuCI stored XSS: CVE-2026-62948 (Critical): an unauthenticated DHCPv6 client could inject lease-file lines through a crafted FQDN hostname, resulting in stored cross-site scripting on the LuCI DHCPv6 leases status page. Fixed by escaping client hostnames in the lease state file.
  GHSA-hhmc-92hw-535f
• uhttpd (web server, serves LuCI): three HTTP request smuggling issues on keep-alive connections were fixed:
  • CVE-2026-55614 (High): case-sensitive Transfer-Encoding matching.
    GHSA-mcfg-c4r7-pjpf
  • CVE-2026-55612 (High): invalid chunk-length state reset.
    GHSA-p55c-rmhc-qfm5
  • CVE-2026-55613 (Moderate): ubus POST body parse-error desync.
    GHSA-wgwp-64hh-f52p
  • In addition uhttpd received hardening without an assigned CVE: a one-byte overflow in uh_urldecode(), an off-by-one out-of-bounds read in uh_b64decode(), constant-time password comparison and stricter handling of $p$ crypt-hash entries in the authentication realm.
• rpcd: ACL bypass through symlinks (High): the file plugin matched ACL grants against the textual path but then followed symlinks unchecked, so a symlink inside an ACL-covered directory let a limited account read or write arbitrary root-owned files. The path is now re-resolved and re-authorized for every operation that dereferences the final component.
  https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/security/advisories/GHSA-q5gr-86pq-vvwr
• cgi-io (file upload/download helper used by LuCI, installed by default with LuCI):
  • CVE-2026-62947 (Moderate): ACL bypass and arbitrary root file read — the download and exec paths were checked against the ACL before being canonicalized, so path traversal let an authenticated user with wildcard read permission read any root-readable file (e.g. /etc/shadow).
    GHSA-jw5r-xhf5-2xcq
  • Use-after-free (Moderate, no CVE assigned): decoding malformed percent-encoded POST field data could use freed memory.
    https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/security/advisories/GHSA-wvhq-qmwj-grj2
• LuCI (web interface): several issues in LuCI modules and applications were fixed. The privilege-escalation issues only apply if the affected app is installed and a limited (delegated) account with the relevant ACL exists:
  • luci-app-ddns (High): the ucode status backend passed DDNS UCI values such as lookup_host, dns_server and the section name to system() as an unquoted shell string, so anyone able to write DDNS configuration could execute commands as root. The invocations now use the array form of system().
    https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/security/advisories/GHSA-32r4-3wh2-qvq3
  • luci-app-samba4 (High): the read ACL granted exec permission for smbd in general rather than only smbd -V, allowing read-only accounts to run arbitrary commands as root.
    GHSA-vx64-mmp7-h36c
  • luci-app-upnp (High): stored XSS — an unauthenticated LAN client can inject JavaScript through a UPnP port-mapping description, which the underlying daemon does not sanitize. The description is now HTML-escaped.
    GHSA-8v49-6387-7f89
  • luci-mod-status (High): stored XSS via a DHCP/DHCPv6 lease hostname shown in the lease status tables. Together with the odhcpd fix above this closes the injection path from an unauthenticated DHCP client into the LuCI admin UI.
    GHSA-686p-p8p9-x6fh
  • luci-base: the dispatcher now escapes the URL path and user name when logging, so crafted login requests can no longer pollute the system log.
  • The LuCI rpcd ACL files were adjusted for the symlink-aware rpcd ACL check mentioned above, so that /proc paths that are symlinks (such as /proc/mounts) keep working.
• umdns (mDNS responder): CVE-2026-55492 (Moderate, CVSS 6.5): an unauthenticated attacker on the local network segment could flood the daemon with unique mDNS records; the unbounded cache exhausted the heap and took the whole device into out-of-memory. Fixed by bounding the cache size and clamping hostile TTLs.
  GHSA-jg8f-fhfw-jg46
• ead (Emergency Access Daemon): CVE-2026-55490 (Moderate): an integer underflow in handle_send_a() allowed an unauthenticated attacker on the local segment to crash the daemon with a single crafted packet.
  GHSA-9558-77jp-g3fw
• hostapd / wpa_supplicant: the fixes from upstream hostap security advisory 2026-1 were applied. Missing validation of multi-link (MLO / IEEE 802.11be) information in received Management frames could terminate the process or corrupt a small amount of memory; the frames need neither authentication nor user interaction.
  https://w1.fi/security/2026-1/missing-ml-parsing-validation.txt
  https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/security/advisories/GHSA-3hj7-gj5w-h68m
• dropbear (SSH): security fixes from upstream 2026.90 were backported:
  • CVE-2019-6111: a malicious server could make the scp client overwrite unexpected local files (missing OpenSSH patch). Note the accompanying upstream behaviour change: scp -r is now rejected when the target directory already exists.
  • CVE-2026-35385: scp did not clear setuid/setgid bits on received files.
  • An authenticated user could bypass an authorized_keys forced_command option when dropbear runs with -t; authorized_keys is now opened non-blocking (local denial of service via special files); and a close() on a file descriptor obtained from an out-of-bounds read was fixed.
• musl libc: backport of the upstream fixes for CVE-2026-6042 (algorithmic-complexity denial of service in iconv) and CVE-2026-40200 (stack corruption in qsort with sufficiently large inputs).
• OpenSSL: update to 3.0.21, fixing multiple security vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-45447, CVE-2026-34182, CVE-2026-45445, CVE-2026-7383, CVE-2026-9076, CVE-2026-34180, CVE-2026-42766, CVE-2026-42770, CVE-2026-45446).
• Linux kernel: update to 6.6.144, pulling in the upstream 6.6.142, 6.6.143 and 6.6.144 stable releases, which fix multiple security vulnerabilities.
• dnsmasq: update to 2.93, which carries the security fixes that were backported into 2.90 in the previous release (CVE-2026-2291, CVE-2026-4890, CVE-2026-4891, CVE-2026-4892, CVE-2026-4893 and CVE-2026-5172) plus further upstream fixes.

In addition, the packages feed shipped with this release moved a number of
optional packages to newer upstream versions that contain security fixes, among
them curl (8.12.1 to 8.19.0), expat (2.7.4 to 2.8.2), BIND (9.20.23 to 9.20.26),
PHP 8 (8.3.29 to 8.3.32), Tor (0.4.8.22 to 0.4.9.10), unbound (1.24.2 to 1.25.1),
lighttpd (1.4.82 to 1.4.85), haproxy (3.0.19 to 3.0.25) and rsync (3.4.2 to 3.4.3).
collectd also received a fix for a use-after-free in the ping plugin. These
packages are not part of the default images — you have to update the installed
packages on your device to receive them.

Beyond the issues listed above, this release fixes a number of further security
and robustness problems in odhcpd, odhcp6c, rpcd and uhttpd for which no CVE
number or dedicated advisory was assigned. We strongly recommend upgrading to
the latest OpenWrt release and installing all available package updates.

Device support

No new devices were added in this security maintenance release.

Device fixes:

• airoha: update the PCS driver to a newer proposed upstream version (EN7581 Ethernet SerDes)
• ipq806x: Extreme Networks AP3935 - disable PHY hibernation on LAN1, which otherwise stayed dead when no cable was connected at power-on

WiFi fixes and improvements

• mac80211: update the backported wireless stack and drivers from 6.12.61 to 6.12.96, containing many upstream fixes for ath10k, ath11k, rtw88, rtlwifi and iwlwifi, among them:
  • ath10k: skip WMI and beacon transmission when the device is wedged
  • ath11k: fix a warning on unbind and fix peer resolution on the RX path
  • rtw88: fix memory leaks on USB write failures
  • mac80211/nl80211: reject oversized EMA RNR lists and fix multi-link element defragmentation
• hostapd / wpa_supplicant: multi-link (MLO) parsing validation fixes, see the security section above
• wireless-regdb: update to 2026.05.30

Network and service improvements

• odhcpd received many DHCPv6/DHCPv4 correctness and robustness fixes on top of the security fixes listed above, among them bounded nested relay recursion, correct handling of DHCPv4 Pad/End option encoding, fixed reallocation error handling and a memory leak on reload
• odhcp6c: several fixes to DHCPv6 option parsing, RFC 6603 prefix-exclude handling, Reconfigure message validation and script invocation
• rpcd: fixes for a use-after-free in the async exec reply path, a double close of exec pipe descriptors, an integer overflow in the UCI apply timeout and several memory leaks
• umdns: update to a current version with the cache limits mentioned above

Other changes

• busybox: the shell command history is now saved again. To avoid flash wear, it is written only when a shell session exits and it is stored in /tmp, so it is lost on reboot. The location can be changed in /etc/profile.d/busybox-history-file.sh.

Core components update

• Linux kernel: update from 6.6.141 to 6.6.144
• OpenSSL: update from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21 (multiple security fixes, see above)
• dnsmasq: update from 2.90 to 2.93
• mac80211: update from 6.12.61 to 6.12.96
• wireless-regdb: update from 2026.03.18 to 2026.05.30
• ca-certificates: update from 20260223 to 20260601 (refreshed root CA bundle)

Upgrading to 24.10

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and configuration will be preserved in most cases.

For for upgrades inside the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series for example from a OpenWrt 24.10 release candidate Attended Sysupgrade is supported in addition which allows preserving the installed packages too.

• Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.

• There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
  ''Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed''

• User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

• Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt. Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

• Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible. After upgrading, the config file /etc/config/system should not be restored from a backup, as this will overwrite the new compat_version value.

• Users of scp from the dropbear package: recursive copies (scp -r) into an already existing target directory are now rejected. This is an intentional upstream change that comes with the fix for CVE-2019-6111. Use rsync or copy into a non-existing directory instead.

Known issues

• LEDs for Airoha AN8855 are not yet supported. Devices like the Xiaomi AX3000T with an Airoha switch will have their switch LEDs powered off. This will not be addressed in the OpenWrt 24.10 series any more, it is fixed in OpenWrt 25.12.
• 5GHz WiFi is non-functional on certain devices with ath10k chipsets. Affected models include the Phicomm K2T, TP-Link Archer C60 v3 and possibly others. For details, see issue #14541.

In the 1.60 update, we have introduced the Improved Material System for selected trucks for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. And today, we bring you a look behind the scenes at how this feature came to life!

The two main people working on this feature are our colleagues Daniel and Martin, who were and still are implementing the system for trucks in both games, and also for cars in the upcoming Road Trip project for American Truck Simulator.

Daniel - Vehicle Technical Leader

"I've been working at SCS Software for over thirteen years. I started as a 3D Generalist, then worked as a 3D Vehicle Artist and Vehicle Team Lead. Today, my role is the Vehicle Technical Leader.

My work bridges the gap between the graphical and technical aspects of development. I collaborate with programmers to implement vehicle features into the engine, while also helping artists establish efficient workflows. I also design new tools and technical improvements.

My task on the improved material system was to identify the problem, propose a solution, and collaborate with programmers on its implementation into the engine. Next, we needed to set up a practical workflow for the vehicle team so that the system could be used consistently across other vehicles. The programmers created the necessary support in the engine and shaders. The graphic designers then converted and fine-tuned the materials for specific trucks."

Martin - Senior 3D Graphic Designer

"I work as a Senior 3D Graphic Designer specializing in vehicles. I also worked as Head of Content for the Road Trip project. I participated in selecting the vehicles and their specific variants, handled research and pre-production, provided expert consultation, and subsequently worked on the actual creation of the vehicles. I also helped Dan fine-tune changes to the material system.

Cars have been a long-standing passion of mine, especially sports cars and classic cars - particularly American ones. Thanks to this, I was able to bring my own experience and knowledge of American automotive culture, history, and the technical development of individual models to the project.

My main task was the 1967 Ford Mustang and everything related to its visual and content preparation. I was involved in selecting the specific car and its variant, conducting research, gathering references, consulting during data collection, and the actual creation of the model and materials.

During the development of the new material system, I prepared and fine-tuned the individual surfaces on the Mustang. Together with Dan, we used this car to verify how the new technical solution behaved in practice and which values provided the most accurate results."

How did this project start?

"Development began while we were working on the Road Trip project. The interiors of passenger cars are smaller and darker than those of trucks, so the shortcomings of the original system were more noticeable in them.

Aside from direct light, the original system had no way to render light within the interiors. In the real world, a large portion of the visuals consists of so-called indirect, or reflected light (GI). However, the game did not work with this concept at all and was not designed for it. We knew we needed to change this somehow.

The second problem was that the interiors of the trucks contain many different materials, such as fabric, leather, plastic, painted surfaces, metal, and glass. The original system was unable to render them accurately, especially under indirect lighting; everything looked very flat.

"Road Trip provided us with a suitable, isolated environment for development and testing. From the start, however, we designed the system so that it could also be used for trucks," says Daniel.

What did you have to do before actually starting to implement the improved system?

"We needed to map out the actual vehicles and the materials used in their interior in detail through extensive research. I studied magazines, photographs, available documentation, and individual trim levels. While gathering data, we had the opportunity to see the specific car in person, speak with its owner, and document its construction and appearance in detail.

It wasn't enough to simply determine that a certain part of the interior was made of, for example, plastic, leather, or metal. We also had to examine the surface texture, the degree of gloss, the way the material reflects light, its wear and tear, the color shade, and the differences between individual parts.

This research laid the foundation upon which we could later assess whether the materials in the game corresponded to the actual vehicle," Martin told us.

"We also had to decide which direction to take. One of the key requirements was maintaining performance, so we looked for approaches that didn't require complex computational operations and sought techniques that would achieve good results with minimal changes to computational complexity. I believe the result of our efforts is a noticeable improvement in graphics with minimal impact on performance," Daniel shared with us.

How did the process of bringing the new system into the game look?

"We needed to implement changes to the engine regarding how the game loads and handles reflective textures. A reflective texture is essentially a cube where each face shows a reflection in a different direction relative to the player. Using it is significantly more efficient than calculating actual light reflections using ray tracing. We made several changes to the code to gain direct access to individual mipmaps. A mipmap is a scaled-down copy of the original image, typically used when a textured object is farther away from the player to eliminate unappealing texture aliasing. In our specific case, however, a lower resolution automatically results in a softer reflection, which can be used for materials that do not have a 100% glossy surface but rather a physically rougher surface, causing the reflection on the material to be more diffuse.

This way, we created several different levels of reflection smoothness, ranging from perfectly glossy surfaces like chrome, through smoother reflections such as those found on leather seat materials, to rough, nearly non-reflective materials like fabrics, where one side of the reflection cube is only 2x2px. In our case, it replaces the Iradience map, which means it primarily serves to project the surrounding light palette onto the given material (color cast). The game was already calculating the mipmaps themselves, which means this change costs us practically nothing in terms of performance - and that is the main reason we decided to use this approach.

Along with the material changes, we also needed to rebalance the contrast and lighting throughout the game to eliminate extremely dark areas and achieve a more realistic sense of lighting.

Unlike the original solution, where reflective textures were used only for highly reflective materials, particularly metals, the revised system applies a reflective texture to every single material in the vehicle's interior. However, they differ in how strongly the reflection is visible in the final image and in the softness of the reflection applied. This ensures that even less reflective materials - especially plastics - convey a sense of reflected light, color cast, and improved contrast, particularly in shaded areas of the interior. Players will now notice that the entire interior actually reacts to the truck's surroundings; for example, when driving past trees, the part of the interior near the windows takes on a subtle green tint. This makes the game feel much more realistic than before, even without the computationally expensive global illumination (GI) calculation.

Once the technology was ready, we needed to determine how to adjust the individual materials under the new conditions. Since each material now includes a reflective component, we had to completely rebalance all the settings for each material. To ensure that existing textures would function correctly with the new settings, we also had to rebalance their color and specular components to the standard values we had established during our extensive testing.

The final step for system-wide deployment was to create a material library so that we wouldn't have to configure each material type separately for every vehicle," Daniel explains.

What were the biggest challenges in implementing the system?

"The biggest challenge was the diversity of the vehicles. The individual trucks were created at different times and used different source data, textures, and rendering methods. There is no single conversion that works for all trucks. Each completed interior has its own structure and requires a customized approach," says Daniel.

"Also, the individual properties of materials influence one another. Changing the reflectance or roughness might improve the appearance of one surface, but at the same time cause the material to behave poorly in a different lighting situation. Or a material that looked right in direct daylight might be too shiny in a dark interior or react unnaturally while driving at night. It was therefore necessary to constantly strike a balance between realism, visibility, and consistent behavior. The goal was not to make all surfaces more prominent or shinier, but to accurately capture the differences between them.

We reworked many of these steps several times during development. However, the result was not just materials for one specific car, but also experience and guidelines that will significantly facilitate work on future vehicles.

The process wasn't straightforward. It wasn't enough to simply set a few parameters according to a pre-prepared table. We had to figure out many of the values ourselves, and together with Dan, we tested them repeatedly right in the game," Martin added.

How did you manage to do the changes without affecting performance?

"Our players use a wide range of hardware. We didn't want to create visual enhancements that would significantly reduce the game's performance or even make the game unplayable for some players. Therefore, the system is not based on a new, resource-intensive lighting simulation. It extends the existing rendering pipeline and utilizes already available data more efficiently.

Performance was continuously profiled during development. The goal was to achieve a visible improvement with minimal impact on the graphics card and memory. Furthermore, the system is configured to function with a certain trade-off even when set to medium or low - in such cases, while reflections are not rendered in real time and some benefits, such as realistic color cast from the vehicle's surroundings, are lost, the materials themselves still look realistic and can be distinguished from one another," says Daniel.

So far, we've implemented the improved material system on four trucks across ETS2 and ATS. Rather than making the community wait until every truck has been updated, we'll continue rolling out the improved material system for other trucks gradually, allowing you to enjoy the improvements on some vehicles already while we complete the rest. As Daniel explains here:

"Each truck requires individual adjustments, a visual inspection, and testing of all variants in daylight, at night, in the rain, and in cloudy weather. Therefore, it was not possible to update the entire fleet at once. This smaller initial group will allow us to verify the entire production process, maintain quality, and gather feedback from players."

We hope you have enjoyed this in-depth look at how we work on the improved material system. Make sure to also add the Ford Car Pack and the RAM & Dodge Car Pack to your Steam wishlist, so you can enjoy this feature on cars when we release them.

Fixes and improvements

General

• fix error message (#5922) 'all' is a synonym for 'all_others'
• fix clearing lists with environment variables (#5410) (#5924) MTX_AUTHINTERNALUSERS_0_IPS, MTX_LOGDESTINATIONS and MTX_RTSPTRANSPORTS can now be used to clear their corresponding list by setting them to an empty value.
• add runOnOnline / runOnOffline hooks (#5399) (#5956) These are triggered and a stream is online (i.e. not just provided by an offline segment).
• rename runOnReady into runOnAvailable, runOnNotReady into runOnUnavailable (#5957)
• fix wrong PTS and wrong playback of alwaysAvailableFile (#5436) (#5960) PTS offset of samples was not properly considered, and sleep between samples was PTS-based instead of being DTS-based.
• avoid potential timing attack when validating SHA256 credentials (#5961) The == operator is vulnerable to timing attacks as it short-circuits on a mismatch. Use ConstantTimeCompare to avoid this vector. Co-authored-by: Tristan Matthews tmatth@videolan.org
• normalize authentication error messages (#5421) (#5959) Log authentication errors as soon as possible, use the "warn" level, use the same message whatever the author or protocol.
• adjust code to prevent security scan false positives (#5963) about string escaping.
• ask for credentials only in case of protocols that support it (#5966) When clients connect with some protocols (SRT, RTMP), they are unable to provide credentials even if they are asked to. In this case, it's useless to wait for credentials, and it's better to immediately log authentication errors and apply the anti-brute force algorithm.
• docs: add fail2ban integration (#5016) (#5967)
• add comment to prevent security scan false positives (#5973)
• pmp4: fix support for ctts version 0 (#5436) (bluenviron/mediacommon#343)

API

• generate most of OpenAPI automatically (#5918) enums and structs are now generated automatically. This eliminates some inconsistencies and makes development easier.

Media-Over-QUIC

• fix race condition during startup (#5965) allocate the HTTP server only after the MoQ server has been initialized.
• fix several panics and OOM errors (#5964) Check for limits before allocating memory by using sizes passed from the remote peer. Also add fuzzing to all MoQ primitives.

• prevent excessive CPU consumption in reorderer (#5976) do not iterate by maxGroupID (passed by user) but iterate by internal pending packets (uncontrolled by user).

WebRTC

• prevent cross-origin unauthorized access (#5975) when a user had previously inserted credentials into a MediaMTX instance through a browser, and AllowOrigins was set to a wildcard, third-party websites visited by the user were allowed to read streams without restrictions. This is now prevented by returning "*" in Access-Control-Allow-Origins when AllowOrigins is a wildcard, a behavior that prevents browsers from sharing credentials with third-party websites.

RTSP

• restrict UDP port range to 32768-60999 (#5398) (#5958) this is the default Linux ephemeral port range.
• use session ID in requests to the external authentication server (#5977) Co-authored-by: Cycle1337 Cycle1337@outlook.com

If you've been following our rework projects in American Truck Simulator, you may be wondering what's next after our recent focus on Route 66. Today, we're excited to share the answer! Our next major undertaking will be the Nevada Rework Project, where we'll give the Silver State a complete overhaul.

As part of this next phase, our map designers will focus on the entire state of Nevada, reworking all of its existing cities and road networks to bring them up to the quality standards of our latest content. Since Nevada was one of the original states released with American Truck Simulator, this rework will allow us to rebuild many locations from the ground up while preserving the character and atmosphere that make the state so unique.

In addition to refreshing familiar places, we're also taking the opportunity to expand Nevada with locations and road connections that were missing from the original version. One example is the city of Fallon, located east of Carson City. Alongside it, we'll also add the missing sections of US-95 that pass through Fallon from south to north, creating a more complete and authentic driving experience.

Throughout the state, you can also look forward to a variety of brand-new custom depots, offering more diverse delivery destinations and making freight transportation across Nevada feel even more immersive than before.

This is just the beginning of the Nevada Rework Project, and we're looking forward to sharing more previews from development as work progresses. Be sure to follow us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, and YouTube, or sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss any future updates. Until next time, keep on truckin'!

Ever since we introduced the idea of a community-powered device database at State of the Open Home 2025, our goal has been clear: create a “Wikipedia of smart home devices” based on real-world usage. In February, we took the first step by inviting Home Assistant users to voluntarily share anonymized device data to help us build it.

Our wheels keep turning, and today we’re ready to share a teaser of another U.S. state currently in development for American Truck Simulator. Let’s see how good your guessing game is!

🚀 Jellyfin Server 12.0 RC3

We are pleased to announce the third release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 12.0!

This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 12.0 before its final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

A note about versioning

Starting with this release, we are dropping the preceding 10. from our versioning. Thus, 10.11.x -> [10.]12.x = 12.x. The reason is simple: at this point in the project, we don't envision a hard break in the API like we planned way back in the early days, and this version scheme was causing a lot of confusion amongst users about what a "major" release was. For more information, please see the RC1 release notes.

What's new?

The main goal of this release has been performance. 10.11.0 dropped a major backend rewrite, and while it was broadly functional, it had a lot of rough edges. This release seeks to polish out most of those rough edges and bring better performance to all users.

There are many other small fixes, improvements, changes, and translations. See our draft release notes here or below for the full list of pull requests. You can also view the Web side changelog here.

Note: You must be on Jellyfin 10.10.7+ or 10.11.x (ideally, 10.11.11) before upgrading! If you are not, the upgrade will fail. Ensure you upgrade to one of these versions first!

Note: The initial load of Jellyfin 12.x will run a few migrations and will take several minutes. Please be patient and do not interrupt the process. You can leverage the (newly improved!) startup UI on your local network to see specific progress, or off-network to see general progress, by visiting the server URL in your web browser during startup.

Note: If you install the RC, you should disable all external plugins and reinstall using the unstable plugin repository, or plugins may fail to load and cause unintended side effects.

Installing

This preview release is distributed in all our traditional forms, though not automatically via our Apt repository or latest tag.

• For all non-Docker environments, you can find the files for manual download in our repository by selecting "Stable Preview" for your OS.
• For Docker, you can pull the 12.0-rc3 or preview tags.

🚀 Jellyfin Web 12.0 RC3

We are pleased to announce the third release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 12.0!

This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 12.0 before it's final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

A note about versioning

Starting with this release, we are dropping the preceding 10. from our versioning. Thus, 10.11.x -> [10.]12.x = 12.x. The reason is simple: at this point in the project, we don't envision a hard break in the API like we planned way back in the early days, and this version scheme was causing a lot of confusion amongst users about what a "major" release was. For more information, please see the RC1 release notes.

What's new?

The main goal of this release has been performance. 10.11.0 dropped a major backend rewrite, and while it was broadly functional, it had a lot of rough edges. This release seeks to polish out most of those rough edges and bring better performance to all users.

There are many other small fixes, improvements, changes, and translations. See our draft release notes here or below for the full list of pull requests. You can also view the Server side changelog here.

Note: You must be on Jellyfin 10.10.7+ or 10.11.x (ideally, 10.11.11) before upgrading! If you are not, the upgrade will fail. Ensure you upgrade to one of these versions first!

Note: The initial load of Jellyfin 12.x will run a few migrations and will take several minutes. Please be patient and do not interrupt the process. You can leverage the (newly improved!) startup UI on your local network to see specific progress, or off-network to see general progress, by visiting the server URL in your web browser during startup.

Note: If you install the RC, you should disable all external plugins and reinstall using the unstable plugin repository, or plugins may fail to load and cause unintended side effects.

Installing

This preview release is distributed in all our traditional forms, though not automatically via our Apt repository or latest tag.

• For all non-Docker environments, you can find the files for manual download in our repository by selecting "Stable Preview" for your OS.
• For Docker, you can pull the 12.0-rc3 or preview tags.
