v10.3.0

10.3.0 (2024-10-01)

Important

Container users: please use the image tagged v10.3.0-7-g3b22ee4 as the v10.3.0. stable version. There was a problem during the automatic image generation for the release that led to the images not being generated. This tag only contains additional changes to the build system on top of the changes in the v10.3.0 release and so is functionally equivalent.

This release contains a few new sensors:

• A connection latency sensor for checking the network latency between Go Hass Agent and Home Assistant.
• Sensors reporting the firmware security status (from fwupd) and any CPU vulnerabilities (from the kernel).
• Per network device rates/counts in addition to the existing total rate/count.
• Per device link status and IP addresses.
• A sensor detecting the IO operations in progress per disk.

The following sensors have changed:

• CPU context switches and processes created are now rate values (ctx switches per sec and processes created per sec), which are hopefully more useful values.

There has been a fair bit of refactoring of the code under the hood to make it more manageable and easier to read.

Enjoy 🎉 And please keep those bug reports and feature requests coming!
