The legacy captive portal (/ipcontrol) has been removed. Users are now redirected to the Ship GUI "My Page".
The PHP API used by the legacy captive portal and the “Crew Connection App” is disabled.

New features:

Quota/Terms and Conditions:

- Allows user to change gateway or throttle-settings without logging out.
- Device List: Added hostname from DHCP to logged-in devices overview.
- Device List: Added "This device"-indication.
User and Login:
- Supports "User cannot change password" property. If this is set, users are not allowed to change their password on board.
- User is now required to enter an end-date when signing on to a new ship. This defaults to next month.

Bugfixes:

Quota:

- Wallet balance now shows decimal numbers.
- The "Connected devices"-page is now refreshed on an interval.

Version 5.11.007

New Features

Quota/Captive Portal
- Allows users to throttle their Internet speed to reduce streaming quality and save bandwidth.
  - Requires "Gateway Selection At Login" User Group toggle, under the Groups > General tab.
Webmail
- Added AI-Proof Reader
  - Note: This feature requires a feature flag to be set.
DHCP
- Expired leases are now deleted on the client so the shore report only contains active leases.
Ship GUI/Captain's Overview
- Added user group filtering for on-board users.
  - Note: This features hides users with no user groups by default
Ship GUI/Approve Hire
- Allows approver to edit the pre-hire before approving it

Bugfixes and Improvements:

DHCP
- Fixes problem where some leases are never considered "expired" and thus cannot be reused.
Quota/Captive Portal
- Now refreshes the "Used Data" without requiring page reload.
Ship GUI/Hire
- Hires created from devices with the local time set to the past or in the future are now correctly created.
IMAP
- Adjust error text when large mail is appended to IMAP.

Security/Other:

Webmail
- Upgraded RoundCube to 1.6.12
Ship GUI
- Upgraded to Angular 20
Network Control
- Network Control is no longer susceptible to DNS poisoning attacks. Source ports chosen by the NAT-engine are now picked randomly instead of from a sequential list.

Version 5.11.004

Bugfixes and Improvements:

Network Control/Quota
- The NAT-engine in Network Control now uses ports from the IANA private range 49152-59152.
- DNS requests now get their one entry per request in the NAT-table in Network Control. This is done to avoid UTMs from classifying the Dualog DNS relayed traffic as spam or hostile

Version 5.11.003

Bugfixes and Improvements:

Network Control
- Now correctly marks gateways with no valid IP address as offline
DHCP
- Fixed a potential crash when releasing a lease on the ship

Version 5.11.002

New Features

Sell Quota
- The Sell Quota page now contains more details about users (incoming balance, usage, top-up per) per month - now also including last month
- The Captain can now stop top-up for the remainder of the month for all users in one go
My Page
- The automatic disconnect-timer can now be renewed
- Users can now see their other logged in devices
- The "Quota Reset" count-down now shows days or hours depending on how much time is left

Bugfixes and Improvements:

Platform:

Quota:
- Fixed a bug where the IsSomeoneLoggedIn API response unpopulated CarrierVesselId field
- Fixed a bug where a race condition would occur if a user logged out and back in very quickly.
Identity:
- Added support for exposing a crew's rank to the id token and userinfo endpoints. This allows third-party applications to give access based on a user's rank.

Version 5.11.000

Bugfixes and Improvements:

Users are now logged out from Internet once their hire is expired.
With the new "Custom IP Login Timer" feature, users are potentially allowed to be logged in for years. With this feature, it was suddenly possible to have an Internet login that lasts longer than the user's hire. In this case, the user is now logged out as soon as the hire expires.
Bugfix: Captive portal is now always redirecting to "my page" - also for users with permission to view the overview page.
Bugfix: Clicking the admin-panel no longer opens a new tab. This prevents the user to be logged out after one hour if both attempt to refresh the authentication token at the same time.
Minor: Legacy and no-longer-used antivirus services and GUI-links are removed.

Version 5.10.005

New Features

Quota
- My Page
  - Users with the required permission are now allowed to specify their own "IP Login timer"
- Slop Chest
  - Captains are now able to stop users from topping up their account for the rest of the month
- Captive Portal
  - Added automatic mode for captive-portal to remove the need for common DNS across multiple networks. This will greatly improve Dualog Protect interoperability

Bug Fixes and Improvements

IMAP: Prevent files that are too large from being added to IMAP folders.

Version 5.10.003

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Extended token lifetime in the identity server from 1 to 24 hours. We experience time drift on many ships, and this is an attempt in being more lenient.
Introduce new rename behaviour for IMAP to reduce incidences of Outlook sync issues on the IMAP server
Fixed a bug where Link id updates were not correctly replicated to the linkintegration table

Version 5.10.002

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Network Control/Gateway Selection
- Route caches could incorrectly point to incorrect gateway after login with gateway selection enabled. Route caches are now correctly cleared on login.

Version 5.10.001

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Network Control/DNS Relay:
- DNS servers were not correctly updated on failover between gateways

Version 5.10.000

New Features

Quota Gateway Selection
It is now possible to allow user groups to choose between the quotas they have configured. This allows users, for example, to use their VSAT quota for reading the newspaper, while saving the Starlink quota for watching a movie later.
- Note: this requires a new user group configuration to be enabled

Bug Fixes and Improvements

"Login loop" is fixed. Users are now logged in on their first attempt
Captive Portal redirection now works for rules with gateway specified

Bug fixes/Other

Fixed a bug where desktop view in webmail would sometimes malfunction
Various minor bug fixes in the Ship UI
Network Control Failover: Fixed a bug where reset gateway to init state from worker fails if allow override is false
Updated third-party dependencies

Version 5.06.004 (note that version 5.06.003 has been merged with this version)

Bug Fixes

Quota: Users are now correctly logged out if their quota is exceeded.
Live Traffic Reporting (Experimental): A disconnected Link-client no longer shuts down the Worker Windows-service.

Version 5.06.002

Bug Fixes

Network Control/Firewall: Rules with the same source IP, gateway and overlapping port numbers are now correctly processed.
Network Control/Failover: The lowest ranked gateway in Network Control is no longer deactivated if ping-test fails. This prevents Network Control from having no available gateways and reporting an error to users.
Network Control/Live Traffic Reporting (Experimental): Now correctly uploads traffic data to cloud.

Version 5.06.001

General Changes

This version and future versions of Connection Suite now only support 64-bit operating systems
Updated .NET to version 8

User Interface - Connections

Override now lets the user specify allow/block. When an override is applied, the user is able to choose if they want to enable or disable the gateway. This allows users to add override commands to enable a gateway even if it is already online

Ship API

Network Control
- WAN-failover settings no longer require restart. If the initial-state or other WAN-failover settings are changes, they are now applied automatically.
- Clearing the override now resets the gateway to its initial state. When an override is reset, the gateway is reset to its "initial state". This prevents gateways from ending up in an unintended state.

Network Control/Quota

Added support for gateways with the same MAC-address. Gateways with the same MAC-address can now be used as long as they are in separate LAN-segments. This is common when the communication equipment is located behind a firewall/router and separated using VLANs.

IMAP Server

If a mail is over 50 MB, a MIME message gets returned to the end user that saying the message is too big. We’ve seen at least one case where the mail parsing caused an extremely large message. This caused Outlook to get out of sync.
Added logic to stop an infinite loop when parsing content-language. If a MIME has multiple languages in the content-languages, it could cause an infinite loop when parsing the message.

Version 5.06.000

Desktop view is now available in Dualog Webmail, displaying the messaging preview underneath the message listing, rather than on the side
Visual improvements to Instant Communication Mode: End users can now see the status of Instant Communication Mode i.e. whether the vessel is currently Downloading, Uploading, In Sync, or Offline
Fixed a bug in Instant Communication Mode where there could be a mismatch in generated hardware id

Version 5.05.003

Fixes

Fixed a bug where Quota traffic incorrectly was marked as business traffic and not counted towards a user's allowance

Version 5.05.002

Fixes

Rewritten part of the Instant Communication Mode where some ships have observed uploads stopping.

Version 5.05.001

Fixes

Increased a timeout value in Instant Communication Mode to resolve an edge cases where some ships have reported uploads stopping.

Version 5.05.000
