Bequant releases R5.1.3, with fixes and improvements in functionality

Bequant released R5.1.3, which includes both improvements in functionality and fixes.

‍

Improvements in functionality.

‍

- All billing integrations now allow using the "user-name+customer-id" as subscriber-id, to make sure the subscriber-id is unique and also has a meaningful name.

- In "Configuration->Optimization_Settings", when disabling "Individual flow shaping ", flow-policy blocks will also be disabled.

- In "Configuration->Optimization_Settings", when disabling "Subscriber rate limiting", rate-policy and quota blocks will also be disabled.

- Allow secondary DNS configuration in management interface.

- Highlight rule conflicts more clearly, showing a red button when there are conflicts.

- Refresh Admin->Cluster page every few seconds.

- Enable TCP thin linear timeouts for the management interface, to improve responsiveness in lossy networks.

- Make standalone dashboard the default in cluster mode.

‍

Fixes.

‍

* Fix slow memory leak in subscriber management process (apimgr).

* Made Graphical User Interface more resilient to temporary node disconnections and poor network connectivity.

* Fix automatic MSS clamping, avoiding it when TCP optimization disabled.

* Faster synchronization between cluster nodes, at the beginning and after a reconnection.

* In clusters, several commands, which do not need information from secondary nodes, now run directly in the primary node.

* Cluster heartbeats now have higher priority, to avoid disconnections in cases where there is a lot of inter-cluster communication.

* Cluster now supports up to 24 wires per cluster node.

* Fixed problem in cluster, when specifying non-standard ssh ports, that caused severe issues in configuration changes.

* Fix in Subscriber QoE metrics page, when specified for a subscriber-group, where it was not possible to select different metrics.

* Fix Statistics->Sys->CPU chart, which displayed a very short height when there were many CPUs.

* Fix app-metrics over time chart in the subscriber-group dashboard, which was showing global, instead of group-specific data.

* Fix the process of removing a node from a cluster, to avoid retaining some cluster functionality once it is standalone.

* Fix Subscriber QoE Metrics page, where selecting a policy or subscriber-group was not updating the charts.

* Allow time profiles ending at 24:00 (ie 00:00), to avoid an undefined time between 23:59:00 and 00:00:00.

* Fix flow lists showing flows as not blocked when the subscriber was blocked.

* Fix in showing policies tables, where not all policies were being shown in certain cases.

* Security hardening of remote commnd execution and user privilege escalation.
