February 2024

Date	Description
2/22/2024	Security: The Security dashboard now has a new look and feel, trending statistics, a consolidated view for all events, and additional charts. Additionally, Security log data, which was previously available from within the Logs page, is now available from within the Security dashboard. The available set of log fields for each type of security event has been updated to improve analysis. Edgio Premier now supports the Silent Close enforcement action that enforces your security policy by dropping a request without providing a response the client.
2/7/2024	Security: Edgio Premier now supports the following rate limiting functionality: You may now identify each unique client by choosing up to two of the following sources: IP address, user agent, ASN, JA3, cookie value, query string parameter value, and request header value. For example, if you choose `user agent`, then all requests submitted by the same user agent (e.g., Chrome) will count against the rate limit. However, if you choose `user agent` and `IP address`, then only requests from the same user agent for each unique IP address will count against the rate limit. If you are identifying unique clients solely by IP address, then you may now extend the time period for which requests will count against the rate limit to 30 minutes. Adding another criteria (e.g., user agent) will restrict this time period to a maximum of 5 minutes. Conditions now support the ability to identify requests by JA3 signature, the request’s query string, and cookie values. The maximum duration for the enforcement of a rate limit is now 30 minutes. For example, you may send a custom response for the next 30 minutes whenever a rate limited client submits a request. Rate Limiting now enforces rate limits on a per POP basis.
2/1/2024	Edgio Console: Edge Insights now supports filtering numeric fields by range. For example, you may now filter for `5xx` status codes through the following two filters: `HTTP Status Code ≥ 500` `HTTP Status Code ≤ 599`

January 2024

Date	Description
1/31/2024	Edgio Console: Edge Insights will no longer collect data for non-alert security events within the Access Logs data source. For example, the Access Logs data source now excludes requests blocked due to a rate rule or a custom rule. However, you may still review these security events through our Security dashboard. Requests that generate security alerts for both production and audit mode will continue to be logged within the Access Logs data source.
1/30/2024	Edgio Performance: Starting with Edgio version 7.7.3, you may now verify your image optimizations when previewing your site in local development mode.
1/30/2024	Edgio Sites: Starting with Edgio version 7.7.3, builds for the @edgio/next package have been optimized to exclude unused files.
1/19/2024	Edgio Performance: Introduced Real-Time Alerts. Real-Time Alerts provide near real-time email notifications when traffic trends change. This allows you to proactively respond to emerging situations, such as spikes in traffic, server outages, and broken links.
1/19/2024	Edgio Performance: Introduced the capability to define bulk redirects. You may either add each redirect individually or in bulk by importing a CSV file.
1/18/2024	Security: API Security and Bot Manager are now versioned. In addition to viewing up to the last 200 versions of a configuration, you may compare different versions, and reactivate an older version as needed. The Security Application Manager page now contains a Production and an Audit tab. View your production and audit setup for all Security Application configurations from these tabs.
1/18/2024	Edgio Console: You may now define an origin configuration in JSON format. This advanced functionality allows you to define an origin configuration using settings that are unavailable from the Edgio Console.

November 2023

Date	Description
11/27/2023	Edgio Console: Many web servers expect a SNI hint during the TLS handshake. For this reason, we now enable the Use SNI option by default when setting up a new origin configuration. This option is autopopulated by the Override Host Header option. If the Use SNI option is blank, you will need to either provide a SNI hint or disable this option.
11/16/2023	RTLD: View profile-specific log delivery statistics for up to the last 30 days from within the Edgio Console. These statistics are presented within a donut graph.

10/26/2023	Edgio Performance: Introduced the low code Predictive Prefetching feature that is suitable for both traditional sites and sites powered by a JS framework. This capability allows you to either automatically or manually instruct web browsers to request popular content before a user requests it. This improves performance since it allows the requested content to be rendered immediately instead of having to wait for a response from the origin.
10/26/2023	RTLD: RTLD CDN log delivery now allows you to define custom request headers, response headers, and cookies on an environment-specific Realtime Log Delivery page.
10/26/2023	Rules: The Client IP condition now supports the `is one of` and the `is not one of` operators. Support for these operators now allows you to define multiple IP addresses or IP blocks within a single match condition.

Provides origin TTFB and response time for different average latency levels (i.e., P75, P95, and P99) on a per rule or country basis. These statistics provide insight into latency experienced by the average user (P75), the slowest 5% (P95), and the slowest 1% (P99). Provides average throughput statistics (Mbps or Kbps) for origin to edge (Throughput In) and edge to client (Throughput Out) traffic.
10/16/2023	REST API: Introduced environment variable management.
10/13/2023	REST API: Introduced a new set of REST API services that use OAuth 2.0 authentication. What can I do with this REST API? Purge cache. Deploy CDN configurations. Retrieve and upload TLS certificates. Manage Security Applications, access rules, rate rules, custom rules, and managed rules. Retrieve, update, or delete your organization. Manage properties. Manage environments.

September 2023

8/28/2023	Edgio: Introduced the test-origin.edgio.net domain. You may use this domain to test how requests from Edgio to an origin work.
8/21/2023	Edge Functions : Introduced Edge Functions. Use Edge Functions to execute a small piece of JavaScript code on our edge servers.
8/18/2023	Edgio Console: Introduced integration for Github repositories. This integration speeds up development and eases collaboration for Next.js, React, Nuxt, Nuxt3, Vue, and Express projects by automatically deploying commits to Edgio. This allows other team members to preview changes before they are introduced into your production environment. Additionally, once those changes are ready for production traffic, you may merge them into your main Github branch and Edgio will automatically deploy to your production environment. Introduced a new workflow for creating properties. This workflow allows you to choose between the following options: Self Host Property: Use this option if you plan on serving traffic through your web servers. If you are interested in using Edgio Sites, then you should choose the Host Property on Edgio option. Host Property on Edgio: Use this option if you plan on using Edgio Sites or CDN-as-code.
