Netsweeper is pleased to announce the release of Netsweeper 9.1.7 EA for early adopters. The 9.1.7 release primarily focuses on fixing variances and improving overall stability. Netsweeper 9.1 is now feature complete and we will only be fixing critical variances moving forward. Depending on QA results; regression testing, upgrade testing, as well as performance and stress testing, we currently expect either the 9.1.8 or 9.1.9 release to reach the GA milestone.
As we expect an immanent GA release all customers should already be running the 9.1 release in their test environment and be actively planning to upgrade to the 9.1 release in the next few months. The 9.1 release is a large upgrade that introduces the first step toward having a defined Organization structure introduced into the WebAdmin. Although this massive change has been introduced, we still are providing stable Policy Service backwards compatibility with the 8.2 and prior releases using the 9.1 WebAdmin, Reporter, and Deny Pages servers.
We will continue to improve and stabilize the features in the Netsweeper 9.1 product over the next few months. We encourage all customers to provide feedback so we can improve and stabilize the product for your requirements and production environment.
If you have any questions or concerns about planning an upgrade to this release, please contact Netsweeper Technical Support (support@netsweeper.com).
