0.6.0​

Released: 15/05/2025

warning

BREAKING CHANGE in Debian

Existing Debian/Ubuntu agents must be reinstalled manually either using the .deb package or using OpenUEM's apt repo. The reason is that a new dialog will ask for the Organization ID and Site ID that you want OpenUEM to be associated with (should be Org ID 1 and Site ID 1 for the default org and site created automatically by OpenUEM)

danger

Due to a bug found in the agent updater, you won't be able to update 0.5.0 agents from the console (0.4.0 agents and lower are not affected) and you'll have to update the agents by hand or using a script to deploy it. The 0.6.0 windows installer can be run to upgrade the 0.5.0 agent. You can also use the debian repository to use apt on the affected endpoints to update the debian/ubuntu agent.
