CIDRAM Files

Version/Release 1.20.0

• [2021.07.04; Bug-fixes; Maikuolan]: When the metadata for an already installed component was missing from the upstream, a wrong parameter type error could occur, causing the updates page to not load correctly; Fixed. Due to the scope that the executor queue would be iterated from, an infinite loop could theoretically occur under certain circumstances when attempting to install or update a component via the front-end updates page; Fixed.

• [2021.07.05; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: The option to update signatures only via the updates page could potentially miss some signature files if they utilise mixed 'used with' options; Fixed.

• [2021.07.12; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: Mistake found in the code for activating imports via component descriptions; Fixed.

• [2021.07.12; Signatures; Maikuolan]: Rewrote the default signature bypasses, made most of them configurable, and added a new bypass. The component is also now activable (not provisional).

• [2021.07.14; Maikuolan]: It's now possible, when updating via Cronable, to specify whether to update just the signature files, or to update everything.

• [2021.07.16; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: The code to check whether a component is active was mistakenly checking class files, causing components to appear inactive at times; Fixed.

• [2021.08.11; NEW FEATURE; Maikuolan]: Components can now be activated as events in order to be required in immediately after the event handlers file.

• [2021.08.27; NEW FEATURE; Maikuolan]: The front-end logs page now supports pagination! It's now possible to paginate through entries, instead of viewing them all together.

• [2021.08.30; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: Fixed a problem which occurred while viewing descending log entries with pagination.

• [2021.09.05; Maikuolan]: Precaution against potential future undefined index added to fallback closure.

• [2021.09.18; Maikuolan]: Added verification support for AmazonAdBot.

• [2021.10.01; Maikuolan]: Added a validator to the front-end CIDR calculator.

• [2021.10.01; Maikuolan]: The front-end IP tracking page will now display the "why reason" for blocked IPs when checking them against signature files.

• [2021.10.02; Maikuolan]: Added a new shorthand entry, "Attacks". This is because I'd been using some different shorthand entries before for a similar purpose, and I felt that something a little less ambiguous was needed.

• [2021.10.18; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: OperatorFromAuxValue didn't consider entities when building stubs; Fixed.

• [2021.10.22; Maikuolan]: Added some default auxiliary rules.

• [2021.10.23; Bug-fix; Maikuolan]: Aggregating a single IP address with its own CIDR equivalent (i.e., a range containing just one IP address) produced output with a wider than expected range; Fixed.

• [2021.10.30; Maikuolan]: Code-style cleanup: Public before private properties, magic before public before private methods.

• [2021.10.31; NEW FEATURE; Maikuolan]: Added the ability to segregate cache data on the basis of prefixes specified by the instance. This could be useful for when different installations are utilising the same caching mechanisms at the same server.

• [2021.11.20; Maikuolan]: Added options to the auxiliary rules view mode page for moving a rule up or down by exactly one position.
