However, on a factory reset or when reinstalling the inventory agent, this UUID changes. And when an inventory is uploaded, GLPI will create a new device (because the serial number is different). It is now possible to define a serial number (with the one already stored in GLPI) to avoids duplication in the GLPI inventory.
The Agent Config plugin has also been updated, to feature a new QRCode / Deeplink on the device file containing the serial number.
Android compatibility

The 1.6.1 version specifically fixes SSL connections problems introduced with 1.6 version update for windows and MacOSX agents.
Here is a summary of the most important changes of the 1.6 version:
The NetDiscovery and NetInventory tasks has been heavily reworked:
the Parallel: ForlManager library is used as more stable on some environments,
the NetDiscovery task now supports the discovery of remote computers and can run ESX and RemoteInventory tasks. This feature is currently only used by the ToolBox plugin.
network device support has been enhanced again for different manufacturers like Cisco, Zebra, Aruba, Checkpoint, Citrix and Synology.
The ToolBox plugin now offers a full tasks management support and permits to configure the discovery of remote computers using ESX and RemoteInventory tasks. In ToolBox, the NetDiscovery task including automatic inventory tasks run is named “netscan”:
the inventory management page is now a list of local and remote inventory tasks,
the credentials management page permits to create credentials for ESX, WinRM and SSH,
a scheduling management page permits to define how to planify tasks runs,
the “remotes” page becomes obsolete and will be removed in next version,
a new option is available to add a navigation link toward the agent index page
The RemoteInventory task includes a fix on SSH connections and supports the connection timeouts configured by ToolBox plugin,
The ESX task has been enhanced to support the “netscan” task started from ToolBox plugin,
The Proxy plugin has been fixed to support compressed requests and store JSON inventories with a better file name when local storage option is enabled,
The Inventory task has also received many enhancements and fixes including:
the antivirus inventory support on MacOSX (Defender) and Linux (Defender and BitDefender),
the support for latest RustDesk versions for remote management discovery,
an enhanced support for LXC and LXD containers based virtualization on linux.
The MacOSX package has been udpated to use OpenSSL 3.1.4 and zlib 1.3,
The linux perl installer includes fixes and supports installation on many new systems,
The MSI windows installer includes few updates:

a new installer option permits to just reconfigure the installed agent,
the deletion of log, var and etc folders has been fixed during uninstallation,
the VBS script has been fixed to check installation and especially avoid an installation failure is the MSI service is still in use.
When we speak about IT asset management, ensuring the efficient tracking and management of your organization’s hardware and software assets is paramount. The GLPI Agent, an essential component of the GLPI Inventory ecosystem, is your ally in achieving this. In...
This release includes a security fix related to CVE-2023-34254. You’ll only be concerned by this security alert if you’re using the remoteinventory task in the case of unix/linux remote inventory via ssh.
Here is a summary of the most important changes:
libxml2 library is now required for all the features using XML,
Windows keystore support has been extended to support more stores to ease GLPI SSL certificate validation,
inventory task has a lot of enhancements. In particular, some WMI timeouts has been fixed on windows and a new assetname-support option permits to choose to set asset name from short hostname or fqdn on unix/linux,
remoteinventory task includes several important fixes and has been enhanced to support remote inventory multi-threading thanks to the new remote-workers option,
netdiscovery and netinventory tasks also had their bunch of fixes and many new devices are now supported,
deploy, collect and ESX tasks also had few fixes and enhancements,
the embedded HTTPD interface can now use a basic authentication plugin to secure even more access, like for the ToolBox interface,
MacOSX packages have been updated to use OpenSSL 3.1.1 and zlib 1.2.13,

the linux perl installer includes several fixes and now supports Oracle Linux 7 installation,
MSI packaging now permits to install GLPI-AgentMonitor community tool which provides interesting features for users via a systray icon, check the following project for more details: https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agentmonitor
Speaking about the MSI packaging, we decided to not sign the packages and provided binaries as code-signing SSL certificate providers are failing to provide us the required certificate in a reasonable time. So you may experience some security alerts until the MSI packages reputation has been nicely established.
The most important one fixes a regression introduced in GLPI-Agent v1.3 which prevents windows or macosx agents to communicate with HTTPS GLPI server using a publicly signed SSL certificate.
For the other ones:
new ssl-fingerprint option feature now also works on CentOS7,
on SSL communication error, the agent will report a more explicit reason,
we added support for linux systemd-nspawn container inventory,
we added a new Acer monitor model support: B226WL,
we fixed the support of non-standard port for ssh remote inventory,
the MacOSX packages have been upgraded to use OpenSSL 3.0.4,
the linux perl installer now support installation on Oracle Linux 8.
