Netsweeper 8.1.7 GA Release (March 29, 2023)

Follow

Netsweeper is pleased to announce the Netsweeper 8.1.7 GA release that backports some minor stability and security issues to the 8.1 GA release. Customers who have not yet migrated to the EL8 platform should consider upgrading to the 7.2.12 EL6 GA release and migrate to the 7.2.12 EL8 based product. Netsweeper is excited to move on to the 8.2 release series which will be introducing many new product features and we anticipate the 8.2 GA release will be available in the Fall of 2023.

If you have any questions or concerns about planning an upgrade to this release, please contact Netsweeper Technical Support (support@netsweeper.com).
