Traccar 5.12

January 27, 2024

Traccar Server 5.12 is now available for download.

The previous release introduced significant new changes and, as anticipated, had some issues. This release is a fast follow-up to address those problems and enhance the newly introduced features.

One of the criticial issues was duplicated notifications caused by caching system rewrite. It should be now fixed in this version.

The big new feature that we had in the last release was device sharing functionality. We're making some fixes and improvements to this feature:

• The link is now shown in a popup, so it works fine even if the clipboard is not available. For example, in a non HTTPS environment.
• There are some changes to sharing user permissions and expiration to match the original user.
• Commands and reports are now configurable for the shared user globally. And there's also an option to disable sharing completely.
• Re-sharing is now disallowed to avoid any loopholes around that.

We also improved initialization logic to have a watchdog grace period. Previously if database migration took more than 10 minutes, the service was considered unresponsive and restarted automatically. Now we give it one hour for any initalization tasks.
