[misc] improve goreleaser with RC handling and update docker builds (#6438 )

- introduce variables to avoid publishing latest docker tags and installers - Refactor .goreleaser.yaml to simplify docker configurations and add environment-driven flags - removed management debug containers (it was doing only log var) - Stopped building arm v6 32bits in favor of v7 32 bits for services (not client) - Add target argument to docker files
[client] Detect and recover from a stalled signal receive stream (#6459 )

Maycon Santos	8d9580e491	[misc] improve goreleaser with RC handling and update docker builds (#6438 ) - introduce variables to avoid publishing latest docker tags and installers - Refactor .goreleaser.yaml to simplify docker configurations and add environment-driven flags - removed management debug containers (it was doing only log var) - Stopped building arm v6 32bits in favor of v7 32 bits for services (not client) - Add target argument to docker files	2026-06-17 20:13:13 +02:00

Zoltan Papp	8ae2cd0a08	[client] Fix ios route notify ordering (#6454 ) * [client] fix iOS route-update reordering that black-holed IPv6 on exit-node disable On iOS the route notifier delivered each prefix update from its own fire-and-forget goroutine (notify -> `go func`), so Go provided no ordering guarantee between consecutive updates. It also read currentPrefixes inside that goroutine without holding the lock, racing the next OnNewPrefixes write. On exit-node disable the core removes the default routes as two separate prefix updates (0.0.0.0/0, then the synthesized ::/0). When the two goroutines were reordered, the stale snapshot still containing ::/0 was delivered last and clobbered the correct default-free one. iOS then kept the ::/0 default route on the tunnel with no exit node to carry it, black-holing all IPv6 traffic while IPv4 recovered correctly. Fix: deliver updates through a single worker goroutine fed by a buffered channel, preserving production order, and snapshot the joined prefix string under the mutex so it can't race a concurrent update. Buffered so producers (which run under the route manager lock) don't block on the listener callback. * [client] close iOS notifier delivery goroutine on Stop, unbounded queue The delivery goroutine was never stopped, leaking on every engine restart. Add Notifier.Close, called from the route manager Stop after routing cleanup. Replace the buffered update channel with a cond-driven linked-list queue so route-update producers (running under the route manager lock) never block when the listener callback is slow.	2026-06-17 18:29:33 +02:00
