CHANGELOG

v0.4.14

FEATURE: zrok Drives "Phase 1" (p1) functionality included in this release. This includes new --backend-mode drive, which accepts a folder path as a target. A drive share can be mounted as a network drive on Windows, macOS, and Linux, allowing full read/write access from all applications on those systems (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/218) Subsequent releases will address CLI use cases and provide further refinements to the overall approach.

FEATURE: Docker Compose project for a reserved public share in docker/compose/zrok-public-share-reserved/compose.yml is described in the public share guide.

v0.4.13

FIX: Update to Homebrew automation to properly integrate with the latest version of the Homebrew release process.

v0.4.12

FIX: The zrok reserve command was not properly recording the reserved share status of the shares that it created, preventing the zrok release command from properly releasing them (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/427) If a user encounters reserved shares that cannot be released with the zrok release command, they can be deleted through the web console.

v0.4.11

FEATURE: The zrok reserve command now incorporates the --json-output|-j flag, which outputs the reservation details as JSON, rather than as human-consumable log messages. Other commands will produce similar output in the future (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/422)

FIX: Include --oauth-provider and associated flags for the zrok reserve command, allowing reserved shares to specify OAuth authentication (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/421)

v0.4.10

CHANGE: The public frontend configuration has been bumped from v: 2 to v: 3. The redirect_host, redirect_port and redirect_http_only parameters have been removed. These three configuration options have been replaced with bind_address, redirect_url and cookie_domain. See the OAuth configuration guide at docs/guides/self-hosting/oauth/configuring-oauth.md for more details (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/411)

v0.4.9

FIX: Remove extraneous share token prepended to OAuth frontend redirect.

v0.4.8

FEATURE: The sdk package now includes a sdk.Overview function, which returns a complete description of the account attached to the enabled environment. Useful for inventorying the deployed shares and environments (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/407)

CHANGE: The zrok access public frontend configuration format has changed and now requires that the configuration document include a v: 2 declaration. This frontend configuration format is now versioned and when the code updates the configuration structure, you will receive an error message at startup, provoking you to look into updating your configuration (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/406)

CHANGE: The title color of the header was changed from white to flourescent green, to better match the overall branding

CHANGE: Tweaks to build and release process for logging and deprecations. Pin golang version at 1.21.3+ and node version at 18.x across all platforms

CHANGE: Improvements to email invitation sent in response to zrok invite to correct broken links, some minor HTML issues and improve overall deliverability (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/405)

CHANGE: Added warning message after zrok invite submit directing the user to check their "spam" folder if they do not receive the invite message.

v0.4.7

FEATURE: OAuth authentication with the ability to restrict authenticated users to specified domains for zrok share public. Supports both Google and GitHub authentication in this version. More authentication providers, and extensibility to come in future zrok releases. See the OAuth configuration guide at docs/guides/self-hosting/oauth/configuring-oauth.md for details (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/45, https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/404)

CHANGE: --basic-auth realm now presented as the share token rather than as zrok in publicProxy frontend implementation

v0.4.6

FEATURE: New --backend-mode caddy, which pre-processes a Caddyfile allowing a bind statement to work like this: bind {{ .ZrokBindAddress }}. Allows development of complicated API gateways and multi-backend shares, while maintaining the simple, ephemeral sharing model provided by zrok (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/391)

CHANGE: --backend-mode web has been refactored to utilize Caddy as the integrated web server. This provides for a much nicer web-based file browsing experience, while maintaining the existing web server facilities (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/392)

CHANGE: Updated the golang version for release builds to 1.21.0 and the node version to 18.x

CHANGE: Added FrontendEndponts to sdk.Share, returning selected frontend URLs to callers of sdk.CreateShare

CHANGE: Added a short alias -b for --backend-mode to improve CLI ergonomics (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/397)

v0.4.5

FEATURE: New health check endpoint (/health), which verifies that the underlying SQL store and metrics repository (InfluxDB, if configured) are operating correctly (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/372)

CHANGE: Updated to golang v1.21.0 and node v18.x

FIX: zrok admin bootstrap and zrok enable both broken with latest OpenZiti releases (tested with v0.30.0); updated to latest OpenZiti golang SDK (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/389)

v0.4.4

FIX: zrok status, zrok enable, zrok config, etc. were all causing a panic when used on systems that had no previous ~/.zrok directory (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/383)

v0.4.3

FEATURE: New zrok overview command, which returns all of the account details as a single JSON structure. See the OpenAPI spec at specs/zrok.yml for more details of the /api/v1/overview endpoint (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/374)

FEATURE: New zrok SDK (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/34). pastebin example illustrates basic SDK usage (see sdk/examples/pastebin/README.md for details) ((https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/379)

v0.4.2

Some days are just like this. v0.4.2 is a re-do of v0.4.1. Trying to get Homebrew working and had a bad release. Hopefully this is the one.

v0.4.1

FEATURE: New zrok console command to open the currently configured web console in the local web browser (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/170)

CHANGE: Further tweaks to the release process to automatically get the latest release into Homebrew (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/264)

v0.4.0

FEATURE: New tcpTunnel backend mode allowing for private sharing of local TCP sockets with other zrok users (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/170)

FEATURE: New udpTunnel backend mode allowing for private sharing of local UDP sockets with other zrok users (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/306)

FEATURE: New metrics infrastructure based on OpenZiti usage events (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/128). See the v0.4 Metrics Guide for more information.

FEATURE: New limits implementation based on the new metrics infrastructure (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/235). See the v0.4 Limits Guide for more information.

FEATURE: The invite mechanism has been reworked to improve user experience. The configuration has been updated to include a new invite stanza, and now includes a boolean flag indicating whether or not the instance allows new invitations to be created, and also includes contact details for requesting a new invite. These values are used by the zrok invite command to provide a smoother end-user invite experience https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/229)

FEATURE: New password strength checking rules and configuration. See the example configuration file (etc/ctrl.yml) for details about how to configure the strength checking rules (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/167)

FEATURE: A new admin/profile_endpoint configuration option is available to start a net/http/pprof listener. See etc/ctrl.yml for details.

CHANGE: The controller configuration version bumps from v: 2 to v: 3 to support all of the new v0.4 functionality. See the example ctrl.yml for details on the new configuration.

CHANGE: The underlying database store now utilizes a deleted flag on all tables to implement "soft deletes". This was necessary for the new metrics infrastructure, where we need to account for metrics data that arrived after the lifetime of a share or environment; and also we're going to need this for limits, where we need to see historical information about activity in the past (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/262)

CHANGE: Updated to latest github.com/openziti/sdk-golang (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/335)

FIX: zrok share reserved --override-endpoint now works correctly; --override-endpoint was being incorrectly ignore previously (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/pull/348)

CHANGE: zrok test websocket command to test websockets, whether over TCP or over Ziti

FIX: Websocket support now functional

v0.3.3

CHANGE: zrok test loop has been moved to zrok test loop public, making way for additional types of loopback testing tools. The zrok test endpoint server now includes an /echo endpoint, which provides a simple echo websocket (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/237)

v0.3.2

FEATURE: New docker infrastructure, including docker-compose.yml examples (and documentation) illustrating how to deploy zrok in docker-based environments

CHANGE: Include missing --headless flag for zrok enable and zrok access private (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/246)

CHANGE: Fix for zrok enable error path handling (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/244)

FEATURE: zrok controller validate and zrok access public validate will both perform a quick syntax validation on controller and public frontend configuration documents (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/238)

$ zrok controller validate etc/dev.yml 
[ERROR]: controller config validation failed (error loading controller config 'etc/dev.yml': field 'maintenance': field 'registration': field 'expiration_timeout': got [bool], expected [time.Duration])

CHANGE: zrok status no longer shows secrets (secret token, ziti identity) unless the --secrets flag is passed (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/243)

v0.3.1

CHANGE: Incorporate initial docker image build (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/217)

localhost:9090 -> http://127.0.0.1:9090
https://localhost:9090 -> https://localhost:9090

CHANGE: Improve usability of zrok invite TUI in low-color environments (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/206)

CHANGE: Better error responses when zrok invite fails due to missing token (https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/207)

v0.3.x Series

The v0.2 series was a proof-of-concept implementation for the overall zrok architecture and the concept.

v0.3 is a massive elaboration of the concept, pivoting it from being a simple ephemeral reverse proxy solution, to being the beginnings of a comprehensive sharing platform, complete with public and private sharing (built on top of OpenZiti).

v0.3.0 includes the minimal functionality required to produce an early, preview version of the elaborated zrok concept, suitable for both production use at zrok.io, and also suitable for private self-hosting.

From v0.3.0 forward, we will begin tracking notable changes in this document.

v0.2.18

• DEFECT: Token generation has been improved to use an alphabet consisting of [a-zA-Z0-9]. Service token generation continues to use a case-insensitive alphabet consisting of [a-z0-9] to be DNS-safe.
