What’s New in RLM 16.1

Important

Version 16.0 brings an all-new web management interface to RLM, with many changes. End-user documentation may need to be updated before distributing RLM to your users. For an overview of the new interface, see the overview video on our blog.

There are new build requirements for Mac and Windows:
- Mac - Link with:
  - fobjc-arc
  - framework CoreWLAN
- Windows - Add link:
  - bcrypt.lib
Upgraded to OpenSSL 3.0.15
- Removed the rlmssl namespace. If you need to link an older or newer build of OpenSSL to RLM, build the NOSSL from the RLM makefile.
- Removed the rlmssl_ERR_remove_state(0); call. This call must be removed from your code after upgrading.
The following have been added back to the web interface:
- Metered licenses
- Alternate Server Hostid
- License Transfer
