Traccar 6.7

May 23, 2025

Traccar 6.7 is available for download.

We are changing the version schema starting with this release. The version name now contains 3 numbers. There are several reasons for this. It's a common industry standard, and we already have to use it for things like web app versioning. Hopefully users won't confuse it with decimal numbers anymore. And now we can release small fixes without changing the main version numbers.

List of important additions and improvements in this release:

• Better error messaging - errors should be a bit more user-friendly now. The main message won't contain a stack trace, but it will be possible to show the full stack trace if needed.
• Option to delete positions - a way to delete positions using the app or API.
• Clearer app server change flow - small improvements to the server change flow. We are working on a new Traccar Manager app without an initial server setup screen, and this is a preparation for that release.
• Support for push commands - we added a way to send commands using push notifications. Currently, only the OsmAnd protocol supports this. The idea is to be able to request Traccar Client location on demand instead of having it running in the background all the time. We are also working on a completely new Traccar Client app built from scratch. Stay tuned for that release announcement.
• Merged Lacak into OsmAnd - another update related to the new version of Traccar Client. We are changing the protocol format the app uses, so to minimize future disruptions we decided to merge the two protocols on one port.
• Configurable thread pools - there are some complaints about device connection issues on large deployments of Traccar. This should hopefully make things better by allowing thread pool sizes to be configurable.
• Log user actions in the database - all user actions are now logged in the database in addition to the logs.
• Update web app dependencies - not user visible, but important for developers. We did some major updates to web app dependencies, including migration to the new MUI version.

As usual, there is also a very large number of protocol updates and other improvements in this release. There is also one new protocol:

• GL601 - a new protocol format from Queclink
