Feature Release 0.8.9

One min readWritten by: The MIMICK Team

Organization secrets, port forwarding through a bench, and hot-plug hardware detection.

What's new​

  • Secrets. Store encrypted secrets for your organization with mimick secrets or the Secrets page. Runbooks receive them as environment variables.
  • Port forwarding. mimick tunnel forwards a local port to any host the bench can reach.
  • Hot-plug detection. Peripherals appear and disappear as you plug and unplug hardware.
  • Clock from the Cloud. A bench sets its clock from MIMICK Cloud when the network blocks time servers.
  • Disable users. Turn a user off without deleting them.
  • Consistent peripheral commands. Peripheral commands take their data as positional arguments and share one vocabulary.
  • Missing, not Absent. The peripheral status pill is simpler, and "Absent" is now "Missing".
  • Device access toggle. Turn a runbook's device access on or off in the Edit Runbook dialog.

Bug fixes​

  • Benches recover from an expired certificate without a restart.
  • Unplugged hardware shows as Missing, and unclaimed hardware no longer shows as failed.
  • A secret that a runbook uses can't be deleted by mistake.
  • A run's session ends when the run finishes.
  • Refresh no longer discards an unsaved configuration draft.
