Unimus version 1.8.0 is being released today!



This release brings 3 new major features:
- configuration change notifications
- multi-device edit
- Radius authentication improvements

Main new feature of this release are Configuration Change Notifications.
Unimus will now send you a notification when it detects a change in the config of any of your devices.

We have also added support for defining Access Roles and Access Tags to Radius accounts.

Last but not least, we have implemented multi-device edit, so binding credentials (or doing other bulk changes) is much easier.

MIGRATION WARNING:
Radius accounts must now be created in Unimus, and have their authentication method set to Radius.
If you are migrating from previous versions and use a Radius account to log in to Unimus, you must first create then account in Unimus and properly set its auth method. Use a local admin account to create this Radius account.

Links at https://unimus.net/download.html have been updated with the newest version.

Direct upgrade from 1.x.x and 0.3.x is supported, simply deploy the new version of Unimus, and everything will work.
Direct upgrade from 0.2.x or 0.1.x is not supported, please see this link for more details.
