November 2024 change log

Major flespi improvements in November 2024.

As December approaches, Lithuania welcomes its first winter month with frost-painted mornings and the last golden leaves swirling in the chilly wind. 

While nature prepares for its winter rest, our platform continues to showcase unwavering reliability with 100% uptime for the second month in a row, setting an ideal stage for wrapping up one of our most anticipated features of 2024.

A significant milestone from our 2024 roadmap has been reached with the release of our tacho functionality. This comprehensive solution for remote tachograph data extraction incorporates our tacho-bridge protocol and open-source tools, simplifying previously complex operations and making them reliable. The system ensures durability through automatic retry mechanisms, persistent storage for up to 10 years, and detailed logging for transparent operations.

In addition to this achievement, we've rolled out SENT-GEO integration, addressing the new cargo transport monitoring requirements in Poland that took effect on November 1st.

Both features highlight our middleware approach — they seamlessly integrate into existing fleet management workflows. allowing hundreds of Telematics Service Providers to meet regulatory requirements while continuing to use their preferred platforms, such as Wialon, Navixy, Traccar, GPS Gate, or any other system.

On the security front, we've finalized enhancements to our token system by adding origins (CORS) support for realm-issued tokens. We strongly recommend reviewing your current token configurations and setting appropriate origin restrictions to safeguard against potential misuse. This straightforward yet effective measure provides an additional layer of security to your integrations.

Although not many features were released, each one is bold and impactful, with significant effort behind the scenes. Throughout November and December, we are also undertaking a major refactoring of our Telematics Gateway REST API subsystem, introducing new architectural approaches and advancing HASD and local file-backed caching for entity management. As with all refactoring, the best-case scenario is that you won't notice anything at all.

And last but not least, codi, our AI assistant, handled 80% of the communication in the Helpbox, freeing up our team for more engineering work. In November, it outperformed our human engineers in support tasks, particularly when addressing device-related issues by combining knowledge from flespi documentation, device settings, logs, messages, manufacturer manuals, and general expertise. After the base model upgrade in October and minor adjustments to its knowledge and tools, it has consistently surpassed human performance. As a person, being outshined by our AI "child," I feel nothing but pride — only positive emotions so far. ;)

Stay tuned for our upcoming 2025 roadmap announcement before Christmas — we have exciting plans to share that will make your telematics integration journey even smoother.
