Unreleased

Breaking Changes

  • Migrated from setuptools to hatchling build backend with pyproject.toml
  • Removed hardcoded default NAPALM credentials from plugin settings — napalm_username and napalm_password now default to empty strings and must be configured explicitly

Added

  • NetBox 4.5.x compatibility — updated models, views, and APIs for the NetBox 4.x plugin framework
  • 10 collector types: ARP, NDP, Inventory, Interfaces, LLDP, Ethernet Switching, L2 Circuits, EVPN, BGP, OSPF
  • Detect-only mode (detect_only flag on CollectionPlan) — collection runs produce a FactsReport without modifying NetBox objects; changes can be reviewed and selectively applied or skipped
  • FactsReport / FactsReportEntry models — track detected facts with action types (new/changed/confirmed/stale) and apply status (pending/applied/skipped/failed)
  • Auto-schedulingCollectionPlan with an interval automatically schedules recurring jobs via CollectionJobRunner.enqueue_once(), mirroring NetBox's DataSource sync pattern
  • JobRunner integrationCollectionJobRunner extends NetBox's JobRunner with job log persistence and report linking
  • Vendor dispatch framework — extensible per-vendor collector methods with Junos-specific L2 circuits, EVPN, and OSPF collectors
  • LLDP collector with same-site cable auto-creation
  • BGP collector with ASN and VRF support
  • Optional netbox-routing integration — BGP and OSPF collectors use netbox-routing plugin models when installed
  • REST API — full CRUD endpoints for MAC addresses, MAC vendors, collection plans, and facts reports
  • CI test workflow — GitHub Actions running tests inside the NetBox container with PostgreSQL and Redis services
  • Dev container improvements — updated to NetBox 4.5.3, migrated dependency management to uv

Fixed

  • MAC prefix handling and OUI vendor lookup
  • Infinite recursion risk in MAC signal handlers
  • UI forms with proper selectors, device field filtering, and driver selection
  • Stalled job detection and status management
  • Entry ownership validation in apply/skip API endpoints
  • Transaction safety in applier with per-entry savepoints
