# VERSIONS — taler-monitoring

Release history for the standalone **taler-monitoring** suite  
(https://git.hacktivism.ch/hernani/taler-monitoring).

## Version scheme

Tags and `VERSION` use **MAJOR.FEATURE.FIX** (three components):

| Part | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| **MAJOR** | Breaking changes to CLI, layout, or host-agent contract |
| **FEATURE** | New capabilities (phases, HTML features, i18n packs, …) |
| **FIX** | Bugfixes and docs that do not add a feature |

Git tags: `vMAJOR.FEATURE.FIX` (e.g. `v1.7.0`). File `VERSION` omits the `v` prefix.

| Tag | Date (UTC) | Notes |
|-----|------------|--------|
| **v1.8.0** | *planned* | **L10n** packs for user-facing strings that need localization: **fr-CH** (FrancPaysan) and **de-CH** (hacktivism / Taler CH German). |
| **v1.7.0** | 2026-07-18 | **CLI version:** `./taler-monitoring.sh --ver` / `--version` / `-V` prints suite version, git commit, branch, and repo/tag/commit URLs. |
| **v1.6.0** | 2026-07-18 | **Mail monitoring:** phase `mail` (`check_mail.sh` + `mail-catalog.conf`) for **firefly** (taler.net, gnunet.org) and **pixel**/TSA (taler-systems.com, mail.anastasis.lu); MX/SMTP/IMAP/SPF/DMARC; host-agent `/taler-monitoring-mail*`. |
| **v1.5.0** | 2026-07-18 | **Mattermost monitoring:** phase `mattermost` (`check_mattermost.sh`) for `mattermost.taler.net` (SPA + `/api/v4/system/ping` + TLS); host-agent HTML `/taler-monitoring-mattermost*`; hourly timer. |
| **v1.4.1** | 2026-07-18 | **Docs/versioning:** canonical tree `~/src/taler-monitoring`; docs use generic ops/outside-runner wording (no client hostnames); tags always **MAJOR.FEATURE.FIX**. |
| **v1.3.4** | 2026-07-18 | Summary i18n, monpages code-21, aptdeploy rsync path. |
| **v1.3.3** | 2026-07-18 | GIT notes vs GUI notes; monpages in TESTS. |
| **v1.3.2** | 2026-07-18 | Suite paths only `~/src/taler-monitoring` (no admin-log suite tree). |
| **v1.3.1** | 2026-07-18 | monpages FQDN check + deploy no longer silent-skip. |
| **v1.3.0** | 2026-07-18 | Sticky bar suite version + Forgejo tag link. |
| **v1.2.0** | 2026-07-18 | Language selection: `--lang` / `TALER_MON_LANG` (en\|fr). |
| **v1.1.0** | 2026-07-18 | i18n chrome: English default; French for FrancPaysan. |
| **v1.0.0** | 2026-07-18 | Initial standalone release. |

Older short tags (`v1`, `v1.0`, `v1.1`, `v1.2`, `v1.3`) are obsolete; use the three-component tags above.

## Sticky bar version (v1.3.0+)

Generated HTML shows the installed release tag (e.g. `v1.7.0`) next to the host line.  
Clicking opens the tag page on Forgejo:

`https://git.hacktivism.ch/hernani/taler-monitoring/src/tag/<tag>`

Resolved via `git describe --tags` after `update-suite.sh`, with fallback to the `VERSION` file.

## Public monitoring pages (v1.3.1+)

Host-agent must publish under `DEPLOY_WWW_ROOT` **and** the reverse proxy must `handle` the paths.
If not, public FQDNs return merchant **JSON code 21**.

| Check | How |
|-------|-----|
| Phase | `./taler-monitoring.sh monpages` (or `pages`) |
| Auto | host-agent default phases include `monpages`; post-check after HTML write |
| URLs | `https://$MON_HOSTS$HTML_URL_OK` |

On the stack host (e.g. koopa), publish + Caddy handles:

```bash
sudo ~/koopa-caddy/apply-monitoring-live.sh
```

## Language (v1.2.0+)

| Method | Example |
|--------|---------|
| CLI | `./taler-monitoring.sh --lang fr …` |
| Env | `TALER_MON_LANG=en` or `fr` |
| Auto | `*lefrancpaysan*` → fr, else en |

Full locale packs (fr-CH / de-CH) are scheduled for **v1.8.0**.
