Title: Scanopy v0.17.1 — Unified Credential & Agent Setup, Enhanced Topology, Improved Billing

Scanopy v0.17.1 is now live! This release focuses on simplifying setup, managing credentials with precision, and smoothing billing and onboarding. Here’s what’s new and improved:

🚀 New Features

• Unified Credentials & Agent Wizard: Add, name, and assign network and daemon credentials in a single streamlined flow. The stepper layout makes setup easy, and lets you group and assign credentials live (#641).
• Credential Assignment Controls: Assign credentials to specific hosts or networks, see live assignment updates, and reduce credential sprawl (#641).
• Single Endpoint Enforcement: Docker-style integrations now enforce a single endpoint per host for each integration, preventing accidental conflicts (#642).
• Improved Billing Flow: Stripe Payment Element is now integrated in the plan modal. Payment card required upfront, with themed UI and simpler signup (#644).

🛠️ Improvements

• Device Interface Deduplication: Topology now properly displays ports without IPs—no more collapsing together, for clearer physical maps (#641).
• Credential Descriptions and Wizard Copy: Sharper, clearer explanations of what credentials discover and where they’re applied (#641).
• Streamlined Billing & Plan Selection: Easier to understand CTAs, usage info, and modal nudges for billing (#644).
• DNS Deliverability Check: Signup now checks DNS to ensure your org gets important emails (#644).
• Restrict Org-level Changes: Only managers can create/edit credentials and tags (#641).

🪲 Bug Fixes

• Wizard Validation: Toasts now name the exact field needing attention for easier error resolution (#641).
• Neon Database Start Race: Fix rare agent cold-start race (#642).
• Daemon-Host Input Conflicts: Improved agent setup validation & error feedback (#641).

Subject: Simplified Credential Management and Setup Workflows

This Scanopy update streamlines key setup tasks and improves visibility, making it even easier to manage your network and agents. We’ve focused on reducing configuration friction and clarifying device information.

• Unified credential and agent setup: Save time with a single wizard that guides you through adding, naming, and assigning both network and daemon credentials.
• Precision credential assignments: Assign credentials to specific hosts or networks, with live visibility of where they apply—no more guessing or misconfiguration.
• Clearer device topology: Interfaces without IPs now appear distinctly in your maps, so physical connectivity is easier to interpret and troubleshoot.
• Smoother billing and signup flows: Faster plan selection and payment with integrated Stripe card entry, plus DNS checks to ensure your organization always gets Scanopy alerts.
• Enhanced org-level security: Only managers can create or edit credentials and tags, protecting your setup from accidental changes.
