Tangent › Roadmap & release notes

Tangent roadmap and release notes

This page is where we say what Tangent does today, which routers it runs on, and what we’re working on. We only list a feature as shipped when it has been tested on real hardware, and we only list a router as supported when a build exists for it. Anything beyond “Now” is direction, not a promise. Dates move, and we’d rather tell you that than invent them. If your router or the service you need isn’t here, tell us. Requests are how we decide what comes next.

Current version: 0.3.11 Last updated: 16 September 2026

Supported Hardware

Supported routers

Tangent runs on Teltonika routers with RutOS 7.24 or later and the Bondix client installed. Teltonika builds one firmware image per router family, so support is by family; every model in a supported family runs the same build. We publish a build for each RutOS point release.

TestedFull end-to-end test run on this hardware
Firmware-verifiedEvery dependency verified against the family firmware image; build installs; not yet run on a physical unit
PlannedOn the list, not yet verified
Not supportedThe platform cannot run Tangent

Roadmap

Where Tangent is going

Tangent ships a release roughly every two weeks, and every release is tested on real Teltonika hardware before it goes out. The dates below are our targets. When testing tells us a release isn't ready, it moves and we say so here: we'd rather show you a plan that changes than promise one that doesn't. Each item joins the release notes below the moment it has shipped.

Shipped

September 2026

Rules by IP address, network or domain name, with a chosen exit WAN and ordered fallbacks
Licensing and 7-day trial through the SimpliWiFi platform; buy with your serial or redeem a key
Survives router firmware upgrades; reinstalls itself with your rules and licence intact
Update from the Tangent page when a new version is published for your firmware
Beta builds for the latest RutOS, a report form and a one-click support bundle

0.3 Planned

Is it working?

late September 2026

A Test button on every rule: the router checks its own exit and shows you the public address the rule's traffic leaves from, next to the address the tunnel would give
Export and import your rules as a file: clone a proven set across sites
Domain rules fill their address list the moment they are applied, so a device that had already looked the name up is still caught on its next connection
Dual-stack clients are kept on IPv4 for breakout domains so a rule can't be sidestepped over IPv6

0.4 Planned

Where traffic comes from

mid October 2026

Rules for a VLAN, an interface, or particular devices: "everything from the card terminal goes down the shop broadband", with no destinations to maintain
Discovery mode: watch one device for a few minutes and see every domain it uses, then turn the ones you want into a rule

0.5 Planned

Presets

late October 2026

Ready-made destination lists for common services (BBC iPlayer, UK banks, card terminal providers, Microsoft 365 sign-in), maintained by us and updated on your router automatically
Each preset shows when we last verified it; combine presets with your own entries in one rule

0.6 Planned

Fleet visibility

mid November 2026

See every Tangent router you manage in your SimpliWiFi portal: firmware, version, rule status, which exit each rule is using right now
Alerts by email when a rule has been on fallback for too long, a router stops checking in, or a licence is about to expire
Strict DNS mode to stop browsers bypassing domain rules with their own DNS-over-HTTPS

0.7 Planned

Remote management

late November 2026

Assign a rule set to routers from the portal; routers pick it up on their next check-in and show it alongside their local rules. Routers that aren't linked keep working exactly as they do today

1.0 Planned

Stable

December 2026

No new features: three months of field feedback folded in, documentation completed, and the MSP tier (fleet view and managed rules) generally available

Being considered

tell us if you need it

IPv6 destination rules (waiting for a customer with an IPv6-capable bond)
Tangent for OpenWrt-based routers running the Bondix Universal Client; MikroTik
Time-based rules and per-rule bandwidth history

Changelog

Release notes

Newest first. Each entry lists the RutOS builds it was published for. Your router shows its installed version under Network → Tangent → About.

0.3.11

unreleased RutOS 07.24.3, 07.24.4, 07.24.5 RUTX, RUTC, RUTM, beta: 07.25.1, RUTX, RUTM; 07.24.3, 07.24.5, RUT2M

The daemon's periodic self-check spawns one process instead of five or six (one interface dump instead of a status call per WAN, one combined firewall check) and runs every 30 seconds instead of 15; the garbage collector is tuned for small-memory routers.
The daemon no longer spawns a shell and `ubus` every five seconds to read the DNS forwarder's counters; the forwarder writes a small status file instead. Noticeably lighter on small routers.

0.3.10

16 September 2026 RutOS 07.24.3, 07.24.4, 07.24.5 RUTX, RUTC, RUTM, beta: 07.25.1, RUTX, RUTM; 07.24.3, 07.24.5, RUT2M

Builds for RutOS 07.24.5, which Teltonika has made the Stable release for the RUTX, RUTC and RUTM families. No change to Tangent itself; routers upgraded to 07.24.5 reinstall themselves from this release.
Bundles for 32-bit-only router families (RUT2M, RUT9M) ship only the 32-bit runtime, about 90 KB smaller on the router's small flash.
First beta build for the RUT2M family (RUT200, RUT241, RUT260): the firmware was verified against every Tangent dependency and the build passed the full hardware bench on a RUT200 on 16 September (install, rules, Test, failover and failback, support bundle). It has not yet had the weeks of field use the other families have, so it ships on the beta channel; use at your own risk and please report.

0.3.9

16 September 2026 RutOS 07.24.3, 07.24.4 RUTX, RUTC, RUTM, beta: 07.25.1, RUTX, RUTM

Self-heal after a firmware upgrade no longer depends on the router holding a licence token. A router that had installed Tangent but never activated (for example, no internet at install time) could be left without Tangent after a RutOS upgrade, retrying silently every six hours. The platform now serves the stable build to any router that identifies itself by serial; the router logs the case clearly.
The About card shows the last self-heal or update attempt (when, what happened, and why if it failed), and the support bundle includes it.

0.3.8

13 September 2026 RutOS 07.24.3, 07.24.4 RUTX, RUTC, RUTM, beta: 07.25.1, RUTX, RUTM

(0.3.0 to 0.3.7 were bench builds and were not released.)

The About card shows the page version and warns when the browser is showing a cached page after an upgrade. The Licence card no longer repeats "Tangent is licensed on this router" under a healthy licence.
Test button on every rule (Live status): the router fetches a public echo page via the rule's exit WAN and via the bonded tunnel and shows you both public addresses, so "is it working?" is answered from the router itself.
Export and import rules as a JSON file (Settings card, "Rules file") - copy a proven rule set to other routers. The file carries rules only, never the licence or settings.
Domain rules now fill their address set the moment they are applied: the router resolves each listed domain itself instead of waiting for a device to look it up, so a device that already cached the address is caught by its next connection.
Dual-stack devices are kept on IPv4 for breakout domains (IPv6 lookups for those names return no address), closing a path that could bypass a rule. New setting "Keep breakout domains on IPv4", on by default.
Live status shows "New connections" per rule instead of packets and bytes (the counter only ever saw the first packet of each flow), and the DNS forwarder line updates more promptly.
