Technical Release Details: https://github.com/esnet/StackV/releases/tag/26.03

Release 26.03 is our regular Spring release for CY2026, and includes a number of new features and bug fixes to support ongoing efforts to modernize the SENSE portal and support our growing external ecosystem.

🚧 Known Issues​

  • Due to some environmental factors, the retrieval of users and groups by some SENSE portals can be slow or lag somewhat.
    • This will be remedied in the next release, and in the meantime you may need to allow 10–15 seconds in some cases for the user or group lists to connect and populate.
  • Some parts of the SENSE portal user interface may seem out of place as we transition to a new UI framework and modern style, such as the current process for managing profiles. These components will be slowly improved and brought into alignment with the rest of the portal over the course of the year.
  • Though less frequent, the intermittent problems with the SENSE modeling may still be present and require a reload or refresh of the orchestrator.
    • Resolution can also be attempted by plugging or unplugging drivers to force a new global model creation, or by creating or terminating instances.

✨ New Features​

  • We have added a brand new underlying user interface framework designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. This new system will be expanded over the rest of the year to slowly replace the existing UI, with our main surfaces and tables already using this new system.

New UI styling

  • A new dedicated SiteRM driver has been added to support the new SiteRM API authorization scheme and any other future improvements it may bring.
    • This new driver can operate alongside the legacy SENSE-RM driver, which is now considered deprecated.

New SiteRM driver

  • Our task distribution service has been expanded with more complex and resilient workflows to support our new external demands and use cases. We will be considering future expansion of this subsystem as needed and expect further demand as other projects advance and evolve.

🐛 Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed various bugs with the visualization system rendering pipeline that were causing performance issues.
  • Added missing traceability and principal parameter chaining to the driver level, so that we can allow drivers to access the requesting principal.
  • Fixed permissions issues causing edge case blockages, specifically during instance operations.
