The latest SKUDONET Enterprise Edition update (10.0.13) brings meaningful improvements that strengthen performance, security, and usability—especially for administrators managing complex, high-demand environments. Rather than introducing a long list of minor adjustments, this version focuses on upgrades that directly impact daily operations.

Web Interface with Angular 20

The most visible change is the update of the web interface framework to Angular 20. This upgrade improves how the platform feels and performs from the very first interaction:

  • Faster rendering and smoother navigation, which is especially noticeable when managing multiple farms or large configurations.
  • Improved frontend security, thanks to the security patches and architectural updates included in the new Angular version.
  • A future-proof foundation for new interface capabilities and user experience improvements planned for upcoming releases.

For IT teams, this translates into a cleaner, more responsive environment that reduces friction during configuration, monitoring, and maintenance tasks.

Updated Linux Kernel for Stability and Long-Term Support

Another key improvement is updating the system kernel to version 6.1.153. This change brings important benefits in terms of stability and long-term support. The new version enhances compatibility with modern hardware and virtualized environments, ensuring more consistent performance across current infrastructures.

Security is also strengthened with the inclusion of recent patches that help protect production environments. While this update requires a system reboot, it reinforces the foundation for critical deployments and ensures more robust long-term operation.

Smoother Farm Operations and Real-Time Performance

Managing multiple farms in high-traffic environments demands efficiency. Version 10.0.13 introduces optimizations in two key areas:

  • Faster Farm Start and Stop Operations: The internal mechanisms that control farm services have been streamlined. The result is a noticeable reduction in the time it takes to start or stop farms—particularly valuable when working with clusters or multiple active instances.
  • Improved API Performance for Monitoring: The statistics API now processes requests with lower resource consumption and faster response times. This benefits dashboards, monitoring tools, and automated systems that rely on continual visibility of performance metrics.

Other Improvements to Take Into Account

Beyond the major updates, version 10.0.13 includes several enhancements that strengthen security, traceability, and system integration:

  • Cookie security improvements in HTTP/S farms with attributes such as HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite.
  • Logging of all API login attempts for better auditability and threat detection.
  • More resilient rsyslog configuration when sending logs to external servers.

Two bug fixes have also been applied:

  • Correct handling of RBAC when copying farms as resource groups.
  • Accurate monitoring of the ssyncd service in HA environments.

Enterprise Edition version 10.0.13 delivers enhancements that improve security and provide a more responsive interface. With strengthened cookie handling, login audit logging, faster farm operations, and the updated GUI, administrators can manage complex environments more efficiently.
