v26.06.08-dev1 — 2026-06-08

First public development build.

Added

• Live monitoring — multi-camera video wall with 1/2/3 grid layouts, WebRTC (WHEP) streaming with automatic HLS fallback, per-tile transport switch, live stats, and a full-screen camera overlay.
• Archive playback — DVR-style timeline with event markers and clip export from a selection.
• Cameras & Groups — manage cameras across multiple Alta servers; organize them into groups with per-group operator/viewer roles.
• Maps — place cameras on floor plans with field-of-view cones and open them live from the map.
• Investigate — review motion/detection events, exported MP4 clips, and screenshots with filtering.
• Alerts & Notifications — rule-based alerts (offline, degraded, online, motion, Alta unavailable/restored, config drift) with live in-app delivery and email channels.
• Users & access — JWT authentication, role-based access control, user invitations, and an audit log.
• Self-installing binary — altavms install provisions a systemd service, dedicated system user, generated secrets, and config under /etc/altavms with data in /var/lib/altavms.
• Configuration — config.yaml with environment-variable overrides; production validation for origins, JWT secret, and encryption key.

Notes

• Default HTTP port is 3303.
• Single Go binary with the web UI and SQLite embedded; schema migrations run automatically on startup.
