Landscape 23.10 Release Notes

Note: Support for Landscape 23.10 ended in April 2024.

Landscape 23.10 is an interim release and is not recommended for production use. Interim releases provide access to upcoming features, but these releases are only supported for 6 months, until the next release is published. Production deployments should only use LTS releases, which come with 10 years of support.

Highlights

  • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL): Use Landscape with WSL and Ubuntu Pro for Windows
  • Repository management dashboard: Preview the new repository management dashboard for self-hosted Landscape users.
  • JWT-Authentication for all API endpoints: Introduced JWT-authentication as an option for all API endpoints. This feature is only available for users who don’t authenticate using SSO or OIDC at this time.
  • Auto-registration toggle: Automatically register new computers when they’re registered using a registration key.
  • New --method parameter for landscape-api: Use the new --method parameter to specify the HTTP method when making API calls.
  • Landscape Client - landscape-config changes: The landscape-config command can now start the landscape-client systemd service.
  • Landscape Client - updated ping protocol: Clients now use HTTPS (instead of HTTP) when pinging the message server for updates.
