  • UA capability config grouping: Configuration options can now be organized into logical groups with feature flag support for conditional display.
  • Device inventory performance: Device metric sparkline data is now loaded via a single backend API call instead of multiple frontend queries, improving page load performance.

Bug Fixes

  • IS-IS tab 500 error fix: Resolved a bug where the IS-IS tab on Device Details pages returned a 500 error, preventing customers from viewing IS-IS adjacency information.
  • Resizable columns improvements: Fixed issues where resizing table columns could push action buttons off-screen, cause text oscillation on Safari, or misalign columns.
