Release notes

v6.5LatestOctober 2026

Features
  • Manual Entra ID group management: system admins manually add Microsoft Entra ID groups to the Dashboard instead of relying on automatic synchronization. If you upgrade from a version before v6.5, you might have leftover inactive groups in your backend storage. Remove them with the included cleanup script:
    Remove the deprecated IsEnabled field from Groups

    The included CleanUp-MongoDb-Groups.ps1 script deletes group documents with IsEnabled: false, and unsets the IsEnabled field on the rest (keeps the groups). It requires mongosh on your PATH.

    Preview first, without changes:

    ./CleanUp-MongoDb-Groups.ps1 -CosmosAccountName "<name>" -ResourceGroupName "<rg>" -WhatIf

    After reviewing the changes, re-run with -Force to apply it:

    ./CleanUp-MongoDb-Groups.ps1 -CosmosAccountName "<name>" -ResourceGroupName "<rg>" -Force

    You can also use the -ConnectionString parameter directly, replacing -CosmosAccountName/-ResourceGroupName with -ConnectionString "mongodb://...".

Technical
  • Move to OpenTelemetry: the Dashboard and Framework components use OpenTelemetry for tracing. A collector gateway samples and exports telemetry to Azure Monitor. A new logging section in the Bicep dashboard.applicationGateway parameter controls frontend logging. Fill this section if you used this parameter before in the parameter file.
Fixes
  • Use company branding in VNET: the Dashboard correctly accesses backend storage to use company branding images in virtual network (VNET) deployments.
  • Control PubSub message deferral: new Bicep parameters help control the batch size of deferred messages in the PubSub component's cleanup.
  • XSD Validator XSLT output encoding: the XSLT output defaults to UTF-8 and adheres to the specified XSLT output encoding.
