+# :bulb: Highlights
+
+Will 2025 be the year of IPv6? Let's not try to answer this controversial question and just say that the main change of this pre-release is *drum roll* the official support of IPv6!
+Most of the code was already IPv6-aware, but in some places IPv4 was assumed so these all have been adjusted to work with both IP versions.
+Note that by default, IPv6 support is disabled, we've introduced the ``IPv6Allowed`` boolean option in ``bastion.conf`` that you must set to true to allow egress connections in IPv6. We've also taken this opportunity to add an ``IPv4Allowed`` option, which is enabled by default, you can set it to ``false`` should you want to have a strictly IPv6-only bastion!
+A lot of tests have been added to ensure everything works correctly with this change, but as this is still an important change, and only a few tests have been done in-the-field yet, this'll be a pre-release for a few weeks.
+
+We've also taken this opportunity to make a few other changes, such as:
+- speeding up the ``is_valid_ip`` check (35% speedup, noticeable for groups with thousands of ACLs)
+- set ``ECDSA`` as the default algorithm for generated egress keys instead of RSA, for new installs only ([defaultAccountEgressKeyAlgorithm](https://ovh.github.io/the-bastion/administration/configuration/bastion_conf.html#defaultaccountegresskeyalgorithm))
+
+Some work has also been done around the unit tests (using the more standard ``TAP::Harness``) and functional tests (speeding them up).
+
+A more complete list of changes can be found below, for an exhaustive (and boring) list, please refer to the [commit log](https://github.com/ovh/the-bastion/compare/v3.18.00...v3.18.99-rc1).

 =====================================
 
+v3.18.99-rc1 - 2025/01/03
+*************************
+
+This release now supports IPv6, which is disabled by default unless you set ``IPv6Allowed`` to ``true``.
+
+Note that some OS versions have an ancient version of ``Net::Netmask`` that doesn't support IPv6, these will
+behave as if ``IPv6Allowed`` is always set to ``false``, even if you set it to ``true``. A message will be logged
+in the syslog if this happens on your system. Of the currently supported list of OSes versions, the two following
+versions are affected: Ubuntu 18.04 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.6.
+
+Two deprecated JSON fields have been removed from the ``groupInfo`` plugin response, these were never documented
+and were duplicates of current fields, but with ancient names dating back to a version before the first public release.
+Those fields were named ``full_members`` (corresponding to the current ``members``) and
+``partial_members`` (corresponding to the current ``guests``).
+Ensure you don't happen to reference them in any system that consumes the :doc:`JSON API </using/api>`.
