VM types can be defined once and reused across many virtual machines.
A new CableBundle model allows individual cables to be grouped together to represent physical cable runs that are managed as a unit; e.g. a bundle of 48 CAT6 cables between two patch panels. (Please note that this feature is not suitable for modeling individual fiber strands within a single cable.)
A flat RackGroup model has been reintroduced to provide a lightweight secondary axis of rack organization (e.g. by row or aisle) that is independent of the location hierarchy. Racks carry an optional foreign key to a RackGroup, and RackGroup can also serve as a scope for VLANGroup assignments.
The REST API now returns an ETag header on responses for individual objects, derived from the object's last-updated timestamp. Clients can supply an If-Match header on PUT/PATCH requests to guard against conflicting concurrent updates; if the object has been modified since the ETag was issued, the server returns a 412 (Precondition Failed) response.
A new start query parameter has been introduced as an efficient alternative to the existing offset parameter for paginating large result sets. Rather than scanning the table up to a relative offset, the start parameter filters for objects with a primary key equal to or greater than the given value, enabling constant-time pagination regardless of result set size.
