January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for platform9/vjailbreak: Delivered key features to improve documentation accessibility, migration workflows, and cloud integration, while hardening URL handling and authentication. This cycle introduced a Migration Details modal with enriched tracking (hot/cold types, disk statuses), hotplug flavor discovery validation, and improved error handling for un-managed RDM disks. A new documentation link in the UI was added, ensuring external links open correctly. VCenter URL normalization now handles trailing slashes and parsing errors more robustly. OpenStack token-based authentication was added to support pre-authenticated workflows. UI time-picker safeguards were implemented to prevent invalid cutover configurations. The work reduces time-to-migrate, minimizes runtime errors, and improves security and user experience.
