We have published our next minor release - version 6.1. Major features are OTLP metric support and integration with Oxydized for network device backups. Besides those, there are a lot of smaller features, improvements, and bug fixes.

We just published NetXMS version 6.0.5 - hopefully last patch release before 6.1. Changes since previous patch release:

- Fixed error in log view after console reconnect
- Fixed incorrect gap detection on line charts
- Fixed bug in handling permanent authentication token expiration time
- Fixed server crash during dashboard template processing
- Added -Z/-L mappings for AI, deployment, downtime, and incident log tables in nxdbmgr

  - #3135 (nxdbmgr migrate: "-Z" should skip related tables)
  - #3139 (serial\_number field on nodes table too small)

We somehow quietly published patch release 4 for version 6.0. Due to our participation in MWC 2026 last week packaging and publishing of 6.0.4 was very discreet. Changes since previous patch release:
- File delivery policy deployment uses separate agent connection to avoid interference with data collection
- NXSL removes trailing zeroes from floating point value representation (unless explicitly set as string)
- Database manager supports parallel table migration
- Internal node name resolver cache in syslog processor
- Fixed issues:
   - #2378 / NX-2171 (In Configuration-\>Object Tools-\>General-\>Icon, give more info about image size accepted)
   - #2920 / NX-2717 (Custom attribute conflict is not resolved back to normal)
   - #3128 / NX-2928 (Add --resolve parameter option to NetworkService.Status)
   - #3129 / NX-2929 (Left column of elements not displayed in interface Overview tab)
   - NX-2932 (File deployment from multiple policies should be serialized)
   - NX-2933 (External metric provider may leave orphaned processes on Windows)

Today we have published patch release 3 for version 6.0. Changes since previous release:

- Added wireless controller bridge for Aruba Instant controllers (PR #257)
- Improved interactive SSH mode support
- Improved web API
- Windows agent renames in-use files during upload if they cannot be replaced
- Fixed incorrect handling of empty tool call list in LLM response
- Fixed bug in database schema upgrade on Microsoft SQL Server
- Fixed issues:
   - NX-2369 (Option to add number of items in a container)
   - NX-2867 (Disable "Create database and database user before initialization" if SQLite selected in Windows installer)
   - NX-2922 (New agent actions: enable / disable ExternalMetricProvider)

We just published patch release 2 for version 6.0. Changes since previous patch release:

- Added wireless controller bridge for UniFi controllers (PR #255)
- Small fixes in background conversion of collected data
- Improved AI assistant guardrails
- Added internal metrics for monitoring AI providers usage
- Added TLS support in web API using monitored reproxy process
Fixed issues:
  - NX-1658 (Drag and Drop confirmation prompt)
  - NX-2495 (Do not treat disk I/O error as file rotation in log file monitoring)
  - NX-2900 (Business Service check script editor should have hint)
  - NX-2907 (ssh.nsm can not be loaded on Windows)
  - NX-2913 (Cluster DCI is not populated to nodes under cluster)
  - NX-2919 (Push DCI from agent log parsing may come in wrong order)
  - NX-2925 (Proxy selector should show only relevant objects)

So, we just published patch release 1 for version 6.0. It mostly addresses critical issues with database upgrade. Full change log is following:
-   Improved database upgrade procedure (no long data conversion during upgrade)
-   Agent environment can be set from server using custom attributes
-   Fixed object names not resolved on "Dashboards and Maps" property page (showing object IDs instead of names)
-   Fixed missing action list loading in Event Processing Policy editor
-   Fixed business service uptime calculation for business services containing other business services
-   Fixed database upgrade procedure failure on Microsoft SQL Server
-   Added support for Anthropic API for AI agent
-   Implemented changes proposed in PR #155 (IP address wipe on DNS resolution failure and DNS resolution conflict detection)

We finally published NetXMS version 6.0. It is major release with lot of changes. Most notable changes are:

- Integrated AI assistant and AI agent
- AI-powered anomaly detection
- Built-in basic incident management
- Legacy UI is finally dropped
- Data collection now uses millisecond timestamps, allowing multiple values per second

Important notice: database upgrade will convert timestamps for collected data into milliseconds, and that can take significant amount of time, so plan upgrade accordingly.
