Improved compatibility with minimal Linux distributions
1.70.0
Sep 25, 2024
This release resolves issues that prevented the Connector from working as expected.
Resolved an issue where the Connector wouldn’t start after reboot on minimal Linux distributions, like Raspbian, that directly set nameservers in
/etc/resolv.conf
instead of using a stub resolver. The Connector now detects changes to/etc/resolv.conf
for better compatibility with these distributions.Resolved a memory leak that occurred during Relay discovery.
