SIMP Console Beta 0.18.0 Available

We are proud to announce the availability of SIMP Console 0.18.0. This is primarily a bugfix and refactoring release as we work towards a more complete Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) solution.

Permissions

At this stage of the beta program, we are not guaranteeing database backward compatibility. You may have to rm -rf /var/db/simp/simp-console.db if using SQLite, or drop database and create database if using PostgreSQL. Once SIMP Console 1.0 is released we will support database upgradability.

Release Notes

Fix bug with the database schema upgrader.
Refactor google auth and LDAP plugins to work with the new RBAC APIs.
Increase security by performing most authentication and authorization in an independent middleware layer.
Update the permissions tab to match new RBAC settings.
Add swagger REST API documentation generator at /api/.
Numerous small UI bugfixes.
