version 0.24.0

0.24.0 (May 9, 2025)

This release adds several new capabilities and important bug fixes. Notably, it includes more flexible filtering options, improvements to REST engine parameter handling, support for certificate verification settings, and new integrations with the VMWare's vCenter and Junos IPv6 neighbor discovery. These changes are backward-compatible.

• Filter devices by address
  You can now filter devices based on one or more IP addresses using the address argument in the CLI.

• Set certificate verification mode
  Added support for the cert-verify parameter in configuration. You can set it to True, False, or a path to a CA certificate. This controls whether and how certificates are verified when connecting over HTTPS.

• REST engine parameter update fix
  When switching to engine='rest', the engine parameters (rest-server-ip, rest-server-port, rest-api-key, rest-use-https) are now correctly updated instead of keeping defaults. This avoids inconsistent behavior when switching between engines.

• Add VMWare's vCenter source for inventory
  Introduced support for vcenter as an inventory source. This enables automatic discovery of VMs and their IPs based on custom attributes. Configuration includes support for authentication and SSL settings.
  Dependency added: pyvnomi.

• Collect IPv6 neighbor data on Junos
  Extended arpnd data collection to include IPv6 neighbors for Junos devices. This complements the existing IPv4 support and provides a more complete view of network neighbors on Junos platforms.
