Lynx Frontend

2.1.0 - 2026-10-29

Tables and charts

  • [NEW] Bulk row actions: Select and delete or remove multiple devices, functions, organization installations, or organization user assignments.
  • [NEW] Table exports: Export table rows as CSV or JSON. Exports use visible columns and can include selected rows on the current page.
  • [IMPROVED] Table controls: Configure visible columns and pagination. Tuned column sorting, custom filters respect configured columns, and column settings identify fields with no data, including in empty tables.
  • [IMPROVED] Dates and status: Table dates follow the selected 12- or 24-hour setting more consistently, with a localized short-date option and clearer status labels.
  • [FIXED] Table overflow: Wide tables no longer force horizontal overflow outside their intended container.
  • [FIXED] Single-point bar charts: A chart with one data point no longer expands its bar across nearly the full chart width.
  • [IMPROVED] History and charts: History filters have a refined layout, and the function chart picker adapts to smaller screens.

Device and function removal

  • [NEW] Device removal: Before removing a device, review its attached functions and choose whether to remove those functions too.
  • [NEW] Function removal preview: Bulk deletion shows the selected functions grouped by device before you confirm removal.
  • [IMPROVED] Deletion confirmations: Destructive actions use a consistent confirmation dialog across admin, file, installation, organization, and user pages.
  • [IMPROVED] Mobile navigation: The installation sidebar scrolls on short screens.
  • [IMPROVED] Breadcrumbs: Collapsed paths keep the installation visible. Long labels truncate with a tooltip, long paths wrap instead of scrolling horizontally, and installations, organizations, and users have entity icons.
  • [IMPROVED] Settings actions: Copy, copy-to, and delete actions are grouped in menus beside headings on device, function, installation, organization, and user settings pages.
  • [IMPROVED] Location settings: Device and installation settings use the same editable map card.
  • [IMPROVED] User assignments: Assigning or disconnecting users from installations has clearer confirmation and feedback. Disconnect dialogs identify the affected user and organization or installation.
  • [IMPROVED] Role forms: Permission checkboxes and section headings are clearer.
  • [IMPROVED] Unsaved changes: Sticky page titles show save status, and device headers and breadcrumbs use a more compact mobile layout.

Buttons and toggles

  • [IMPROVED] Button feedback: Buttons show a pending state while an action runs, with clearer keyboard focus, icon-only labels, and hover/press feedback that does not shift the layout.

Metadata and forms

  • [IMPROVED] Grouped metadata keys: Expand or collapse key groups to navigate large metadata sets. Double-click a group prefix to edit the full key, with responsive key fields for longer names.
  • [NEW] JSON preview and editing: View metadata as JSON or edit it directly. The editor validates JSON before it can be saved.
  • [NEW] Pending-change controls: Settings forms summarize changed metadata keys and provide Discard and Save actions. Undo a metadata deletion before saving.
  • [CHANGED] Metadata preservation: Synchronizing and saving settings preserves raw and protected metadata values.
  • [IMPROVED] Touch editing: Compact screens get larger editing controls, and propagation and protect/unprotect guidance is clearer.
  • [CHANGED] Edge App multi-select values: Multi-select changes now provide selected values as arrays instead of comma-separated strings. Configuration forms preserve these values and array defaults when saved.

Authentication

  • [IMPROVED] Sign-in and registration: Layouts adapt to narrow screens and light or dark themes. Unexpected sign-in failures have a clearer message.
  • [FIXED] Restored pages: Navigating away after restoring a saved page no longer redirects back to the previously restored protected route.

Notifications and installation overview

  • [NEW] Notifications: Notifications messages appear as toasts.
  • [IMPROVED] Installation overview: Pinned controls use a full-width section, while external links stay grouped. The Issues section shows affected items, severity, and update details, with loading and empty states.
  • [IMPROVED] Installation tables and themes: Critical device, function, and connected edge-client panels use a consistent table layout.

Files and deployment

  • [IMPROVED] SVG uploads: Installation and organization files use consistent validation. Previews are sanitized, while downloads retain the original file.
  • [IMPROVED] Device images: Clearer errors explain when an image is unavailable or cannot be downloaded.
  • [IMPROVED] Deployment updates: The app offers a reload action and changelog link when an update is available. The prompt shows the new version when known and returns after dismissal on the next route change or after 15 minutes.
  • [FIXED] Outdated app bundles: The app recovers from outdated bundles and failed lazy-loaded chunks instead of leaving users on a broken page.
  • [NEW] Build information: Administrators can see the exact build number in the footer. The footer version link opens the changelog and shows an update action when one is available.
  • [IMPROVED] Browser icons and color: Updated favicon and touch icon, with a theme-aware browser color.

Coming soon

  • [NEW] Authenticator and TOTP: New authentication options are coming soon.
