New feature : IEC61850 standard support
This new version introduces the inventory of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in GLPI Agent. In practice, we integrated the libiec61850 library support which provides related protocols support and more specifically the ones permitting to retrieve devices state. This integration was exclusively done on NetDiscovery task. Historically, this concerns devices using Operational Technologies (OT devices) - essentially industrial devices. The IEC61850 standard aims to standardized under related technologies to especially guaranty interoperability between devices. GLPI Agent and GLPI will now be able to support the inventory of this kind of devices.
This version comes with many fixes and enhancements and here are the essential ones:
- Windows KeyStore support has been reworked to be more efficient and fix few not supported cases
- OAuth authentication was failing when using a server URL ending with "/front/inventory.php". The problem is fixed.
- Automatic inventory includes a lot of fixes:
- many are related to antivirus inventory on windows or linux: DrWeb, Karpersky, Trellix, ESET
- few new remote management support has been added: RuDesktop, SimpleHelp
- HP G5 Dock Station serial number is now correct
- A RemoteInventory possible crash case has been fixed
- With the IEC61850 netdiscovery task integration, many new networking devices are now supported by network inventory
- And finally, we have improved the SNMPv3 protocol support to allow latest security standards usages

About packaging, here is what you should retain:
- On Windows, GLPI Agent uses Perl 5.42.0, OpenSSL 3.5.5, dmidecode 3.7 and Glpi-AgentMonitor 1.4.2
- The MacOSX packaging now uses Perl 5.42.0 and OpenSSL 3.5.5
- The linux Snap packaging now uses Perl 5.42.0
- For IEC61850 protocol support, we have included many packaging solutions to embed a Perl API with a static version of the libiec61850 v1.6.1 library for windows and linux packaging (Snap, debian and rpm)
As usual, we invite you to update your agents to take advantage of these improvements.
