The modern Android devices now point to the geteduroam app rather then the legacy eduroamCAT

Are you sure? Did you already thoroughly test this app on different mobile devices?

We thought geteduroam was in a pre-release state since we experienced a weird interaction with other phone apps that lead to phonebook icons overwriting.

Reproducible on at least these smartphones

Samsung Galaxy A71 SM-A715F Android 10

Samsung Galaxy A40 SM-A405FN Android 10

Please find screenshots attached.

Problem arises upon app installation and disappears on app uninstall.

Hello!

It's been little while since our last update of eduroam CAT. A number of small bug fixes accumulated over time, and there are a few "mini" features that deserve cutting a release 2.0.4.

The notable features are:

• [FEATURE #1] The system now sends out notification/alert mails if a significantly security relevant parameter was changed. The mails go to the NRO admin. Significant changes are:
  - change of institution name
  - addition of a new root CA (with more prominent WARNING if the new CA has the same DN as an existing one)
  - addition of a new acceptable server name
• [FEATURE #2] support negotiation of TLS versions higher than 1.0 while still rejecting SSL2 and SSL3
• [FEATURE #3] realm reachability checks now produce a WARNING level message if the EAP server does not support TLS1.2 or higher
• [FEATURE #4] check whether SRV-discovered hostname and certificate hostname match

Also, we are happy to add a new translated language: welcome, Română (Romanian).

You can find the tarball on GitHub as usual ( https://github.com/GEANT/CAT/releases/download/v2.0.4/CAT-2.0.4.tar.bz2 ) but for most of you the most interesting question is probably when the new code will be deployed on https://cat.eduroam.org.

We have reserved a maintenance slot for that tomorrow, 1300 CET. The expected downtime is in the seconds range, so you would be particularly unlucky to notice at all.

As usual, if you notice new buggy behaviour of any sorts after the update, please let us know.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
