Netsweeper is pleased to announce the Netsweeper 8.2.13 GA Release. This release continues to improve and stabilize the Netsweeper 8.2 product. All customers are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the 8.2.13 GA release in their test environments and proceed to upgrading their production deployments. The 8.2.13 GA release only fixes critical variances that impact customer production environments.
Netsweeper does not plan any future 8.2 GA releases moving forward as the 9.1 release will soon be marked GA. Everyone should start using the 9.1 EA release in test environments and start to plan a migration of their production environments to the new Netsweeper 9.1 platform. For an ongoing list of the new features and improvements in the 9.1 release, please refer to our 9.1 New Features documentation.
If you have any questions or concerns about planning an upgrade to this release, please contact Netsweeper Technical Support (support@netsweeper.com).

Changelog 8.2.13
| Issue Type | Ticket | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Bug | NS-2261 | Directory sync would not start after upgrading to the 8.2.12 release due to a mismatch with the database version in the 'dirsyncctl' during the RPM build process. |
| Bug | NS-2264 | The nsroutes service would shutdown the cache and then the cache maintenance thread. This could lead to a crash during shutdown if maintenance was running while the nsroutes service terminated. |
| Bug | NS-2265 | The nsroutes service was calling code in the signal handlers which could trigger a deadlock, resulting in downstream issues. |
| Bug | NS-2267 | The Reporter RPM could get the wrong database version due to backporting. |
| Bug | NS-2337 | Adding new Entries to a List through the 'List Entries' tab in the Lists window would fail after viewing the List window's 'Search' tab. |
| Improvement | NS-2369 | Disabling Policy Management logging in the WebAdmin Settings 'Disable WebAdmin Logging Sections' option will now also disable List History logging as well as List Entry History logging. |
| Bug | NS-2383 | We now detect if a Directory Sync Group is a member of itself. |
| Bug | NS-2401 | When a running Report is cancelled with 'Temporarily Stop Report' function, the Reporter Service would continue to read all remaining log files before stopping the Report. |
| Improvement | NS-2410 | Entering an invalid IP address in the Client Filter Brand's 'Local Network Detection' field, the Policy Service would log this as a memory error. |
| Bug | NS-2411 | The rdnscache could unlock a read lock while holding an entry to upgrade to a write lock when adding an entry. We now just write lock while adding in order to avoid this race condition. |
| Bug | NS-2422 | The 8.2.12 and 9.1.8 releases would fail to close a connection if the 'close event' was received when there was data waiting to be processed. |
| Bug | NS-2455 | Resolved an issue where the SNMP metric for 'nsdIdleCatThreads' was not stable and did not return the number of threads waiting for data to be processed. |
| Improvement | NS-2459 | We have improved support for ASAN diagnostic output from Services in case we require production debug info. |
| Bug | NS-2460 | The 'rdns ares' response handler would corrupt structures when given an invalid DNS reply. |
| Bug | NS-2461 | The the 8.2.1 to 8.2.12 and 9.1.1 to 9.1.8 releases could have rare stability issue when reloading the configuration while under high load. This issue has been resolved in both the 8.2.13 and 9.1.9 releases. |
| Bug | NS-2468 | The Logger initialization code did not terminate default Logging fields when not explicitely set in the nsd.conf file. |
| Bug | NS-2478 | When saving a Client Filter Brand, any Global Override Password in the Brand's config was being deleted. |
| Bug | NS-2479 | If the Client Filter Brand Settings got duplicated in the database, the Policy Service would leak memory for duplicate corrupt entries. |
| Bug | NS-2480 | Resolved an issue where running the 'clientfilter_brand_setting_set' API or import could duplicate Client Filter Brand Settings, nmonitor_config, nupdate_config, configEdit, or context_ipaddr in the database. |
| Bug | NS-2482 | The Policy Service could return an empty Category-set when CNS was pointed to an invalid CNS server. |
| Improvement | NS-2489 | nMonitor.php will now fail back to the Client if it can not forward the Event to the onGuard API. |
| Bug | NS-2505 | Local Network Detection when processing the 'Domain User Group' would not set the 'LogGroupName' if the username was not already set in the cookie. |
| Bug | NS-2506 | Using the 'Temporary Stop' Report function on a Scheduled Report could cause a redirect loop. |
