Tailscale v1.104.1 — Performance and Features Release
Tailscale v1.104.1 delivers significant performance improvements including reduced WireGuard memory usage, client-side netmap caching for offline resilience, and enhanced features like device pinning, improved Taildrop support, and platform-specific fixes across all supported devices.
Declarative node sharing
Tailnet admins can now use policy to securely share resources between trusted tailnets in a declarative way, enabling controlled cross-tailnet access.
Linux client reconnection stability fix
Fixed an issue where the Linux client would stop tailscaled when falling behind on status updates. The client now reconnects instead of exiting, and only terminates if it cannot reconnect within one minute.
