Change impact
Risk assessment	Users may receive a browser warning indicating that the connection is not secure due to the use of a self-signed certificate in HTTPS. API users may experience issues depending on the tools they use to communicate with the API, as some may not support HTTPS, self-signed certificates or the tooling may have to be reconfigured to adapt to these changes.
Suggested implementation plan	Information included in this PCN will help adapt to the upcoming changes. URL1 URL2 For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative.

2025.02.25: Mobile and I/O POST/GET Service Removal with RutOS 7.14

With the release of RutOS version 7.14, support for the RUTM59 POST/GET service will be discontinued to enhance security while maintaining device functionality through alternative methods.

PCN Number: PCN_RUTOS 7.14_POST_GET_Removal_RUTM59_2025_02_25_EN

Change description
Change type	Firmware change
Detailed description	With the introduction of RutOS 7.14, the Mobile POST/GET and I/O POST/GET services will be removed from the firmware and will no longer be available in the package manager. These legacy services had security concerns, and their removal ensures a more robust security framework for the device. However, users will still be able to achieve the same functionalities using the device's API, which provides a more secure and efficient way to interact with the system.
Change reasons	Enhanced Security: Removing these services mitigates potential security risks and improves overall system integrity. Improved API Support: Users can leverage the API for secure and flexible data handling without relying on deprecated methods. The change aligns with modern security protocols and best practices in remote device management.

Change description
Change type	RutOS System Integrity Enhancement
Detailed description	With the release of RutOS version 7.14, the device’s critical system files will become read-only by default. This prevents unauthorized or accidental modifications that could damage the system’s integrity. Standard users operating within typical parameters should not be affected, while those who rely on direct file alterations will need to adjust their workflows. Custom firmware options are expected to allow reverting to a more flexible configuration if required.
Change reasons	To maintain system integrity, enhance reliability, and prevent unintended damage to core files.

Upcoming change date	Q2 2025

Change impact
Risk assessment	Customers performing direct system-level modifications may need to adjust their procedures. Standard end-users, who do not rely on altering critical system files, are unlikely to be affected. Custom firmware solutions can restore file-level flexibility if required.
Suggested implementation plan	Information included in this PCN will help adapt to the upcoming changes. For more detailed information, please contact your sales representative. Review current workflows and identify any reliance on direct system file modifications. Consider using custom firmware builds if continued system-level customization is necessary.
