February 2026 (2026-02) monthly summary for openremote/openremote: Key features delivered: - Automatic tunnel close after a configurable timeout to prevent stale connections and improve resource management (edge gateway). This feature reduces idle tunnel duration and optimizes gateway resource usage. Commit: 7b9fdd63e8e871aaf6a82586ef32c117767ab61f. - Gateway Resilience Testing Toolkit: Added a network throttling shell script to simulate degraded network conditions, enabling resilience validation of gateway behavior. Commit: 0fe479fe57bdeb47a7b751886ab81eb9faa96e19. Major bugs fixed: - Gateway Tunnel Lifecycle Management: Cleanup on Disconnect — Ensure all active tunnel sessions are disconnected and cleared when a GatewayClientConnector is closed to prevent resource leaks. Commit: d1bcf62c6ea61ddafd559828e61156030084e4fb. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved gateway reliability, resource efficiency, and resilience testing capabilities. The auto-close feature and explicit cleanup reduce stale connections and resource leaks, contributing to higher stability in production deployments. The new network throttling script provides a practical tool for validating gateway behavior under degraded network conditions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Gateway lifecycle management and resource cleanup in edge gateway components. - Shell scripting for network condition emulation and resilience testing. - Collaboration and code contributions with clear commit messages, including co-authored work where applicable.
