26.8.3 ‘Voyager’ released

· 4 min read

Changes compared to 26.8.2

New Features​

  • Added support for restoring directly to remote and cloud locations (COMET-2051)
  • Added the ability to create Admin API tokens for programmatic API access without sharing their password or 2FA (COMET-59379)

Enhancements​

  • Added the admin policy option "Restrict this account to read-only access" that prevents an admin user from using API methods that perform a write action (COMET-583)
  • Significantly reduced peak memory use and CPU time when saving a backup snapshot's directory tree. This most affects Office 365 Protected Items with very large mailboxes, calendars, or SharePoint site lists (COMET-60370)
  • Improved the layout of field rows on narrow screens throughout the Comet Management Console, giving input boxes and drop-downs around 80px more width in dialogs such as Remote Server, Restore, Code-signing and Storage Vault location

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an issue where a restore could hang indefinitely when a connection to a remote Storage Vault drops mid-transfer (COMET-60384)
  • Fixed an issue where the Set User Profile and Reset Password API responses for device and end-user web sessions included administrator-only profile metadata and other devices' Protected Item configuration. The responses now return the same filtered profile view as the corresponding Get User Profile APIs (COMET-60290)
  • Fixed an issue where Comet Server on Windows could fail to save its configuration file, or fail to start, if another process such as antivirus software was briefly holding the file open (COMET-60337)
  • Fixed an issue where client installation errors were not displayed when logged in as an administrator (COMET-59361)
  • Fixed an issue with uploading large files to WebDAV (COMET-2051)
  • Fixed an issue with missing options when performing granular restore in simulate mode (COMET-59540)
  • Fixed an issue with missing error messages when remotely starting a restore from older client that does not support the restore type (COMET-2051)
  • Fixed an issue with invalid wizard page transitions in the Restore dialog in the Comet Backup desktop app (COMET-2051)
  • Fixed an issue with the Comet Backup desktop app search result when restoring a snapshot (COMET-59131)
  • Fixed an issue with retrieving job logs via certain MCP tools (COMET-60322)
  • Fixed an issue with MCP instruction accuracy provided to LLMs (COMET-60322)
  • Fixed malformed Comet Storage Gateway bucket paths being reported as retryable server errors instead of invalid requests
  • Fixed the "Address" field of the Remote Server dialog, the "Server" field of the VMware Protected Item and VMware restore dialogs, and the "Hostname" field of the S3 Compatible Storage Vault dialog in the Comet Management Console being collapsed to a few pixels wide, and therefore unreadable, on a narrow screen such as a mobile phone
  • Fixed a file-descriptor leak when reading or downloading Comet Server log files via the admin API (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed a crash when creating a non-OIDC external admin authentication source (such as LDAP) on Comet Server (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed a data race in Comet Server email-queue statistics reporting (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed an issue where Comet Server webhook delivery workers were not stopped when webhook targets were reconfigured, leaking workers that continued attempting delivery. As a result of this fix, saving an organization's configuration now restarts that organization's webhook delivery workers, so any webhook deliveries queued for that organization are re-attempted from scratch (even when the webhook targets themselves were unchanged) (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed the Comet Server admin log-download API silently returning a partial archive when a log file could not be read (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed a file-descriptor/connection leak in Comet Server webhook delivery (response bodies were not closed) (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed a file-descriptor leak in the Comet Server admin resource-upload API (the uploaded file handle was not closed) (COMET-59801)
  • Fixed a file-handle leak in Comet Server's file-based event stream (e.g. the audit log) when an organization's configuration was reloaded (COMET-59801)
