Netsweeper is pleased to announce the release of Netsweeper 9.1.8 EA for early adopters. The 9.1.8 EA release continues our focus on fixing variances and improving overall stability. Netsweeper anticipates the 9.1.9 release to meet the GA release criteria and are now only focused on stability, security, and variance fixing.
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 GA 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. It is important to that that the WebAdmin still provides 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).
