Teleport

Version	Date
15.3.0	April 30, 2024
16.0.0	May 31, 2024

15.3.0

Improved Roles UI

The Roles page of the web UI will be backed by a paginated API, ensuring fast load times even on clusters with large numbers of roles.

Delayed from Teleport 15.1.0

Database access for Spanner

Database access users will be able to connect to GCP Spanner.

Resizing for Windows desktop sessions

Windows desktop sessions will automatically resize as the size of the browser window changes.

Hardware key support for agentless nodes

Teleport will support connecting to agentless OpenSSH nodes even when Teleport is configured to require hardware key MFA checks.

15.4.0

Access requests notification routing rules

Hosted Slack plugin users will be able to configure notification routing rules for role-based access requests.

TPM joining

The new TPM join method will enable secure joining for agents and Machine ID bots that run on-premise. Based on the secure properties of the host's hardware trusted platform module, this join method removes the need to create and distribute secret tokens, significantly reducing the risk of exfiltration.

16.0.0

Teleport VNet

Teleport 16 introduces Teleport VNet, a new feature that provides a virtual IP subnet and DNS server that automatically proxies TCP connections to Teleport apps over mutually authenticated tunnels.

This will allow scripts and software applications to connect to any Teleport-protected application as if they were connected to a VPN, without the need to manage local tunnels.

Per-session MFA for applications

Teleport 16 will support per-session MFA checks when accessing web and TCP applications.

Device Trust support for the Web UI

With Teleport 16, Device Trust checks can be enforced for workflows that require the Web UI. This includes access to web applications and Windows desktops.

Teleport Connect must be installed on user workstations in order to satisfy device checks.

Production readiness

Teleport follows semantic versioning for pre-releases and releases.

Pre-releases

Pre-releases of Teleport (versions with suffixes like -alpha, -beta, -rc) should not be run in production environments.

Pre-releases of Teleport are great for testing new features, breaking changes, and backwards incompatibility issues either in development or staging environments.

Major Releases

Major releases look like 15.0.0.

Major releases of Teleport contain many large new features and may contain breaking changes.

Due to the scope and quantity of changes in a major release, we encourage deploying to staging first to verify your usage pattern has not changed.

Minor Releases

Minor releases look like 15.X.0.

Minor releases of Teleport typically contain smaller features and improvements. Minor releases can typically be deployed directly to production.

Most customers upgrade to the next major version of Teleport during the first minor release, such as 15.1.0.

Patch Releases

Patch releases contain small bug fixes and can typically be deployed directly to production.
