Switch 12 update 1 release notes

The heartbleed leak is fixed. To still give older clients (including connection via Connect) the possibility to connect to Switch 12 update 1, we added a new preference to Switch. Before you use this setting, please read the article in our knowledge base: http://www.enfocus.com/en/support/knowledge-base/Is-my-Switch-installationaffected-by-the-heartbleed-bug-channel/

If you set the new preference "Allow older client applications to connect (less secure)" to “Yes”, Switch uses the older SSL certifications for HTTPS communication with Switch Client and Switch Designer.

This type of connection is less secure, but required if you want to connect Switch Server to Switch Client versions older than Switch 12 update 1. If this preference is set to “No” (default), Switch is only able to connect to Switch 12 update 1 Clients and higher and uses the latest SSL certifications for HTTPs communication with Switch Client and Switch Designer.

Issues solved

Problems while using the User Pane

When adding/removing/editing users in the User Pane and/or switching to the User Pane.
When running large flows (each containing over 25 configurators/scripted tools) in combination with a large amount of jobs being processed at the same time.

Problems with Script Executors

The problem is related to sub flows caching in ScriptExecutors. When the cache reaches its limit and is cleared, Switch may crash.

Problems when updating Configurators via PackManager

Some older configurators were only shown if you enabled ‘show packs for noninstalled applications’. These configurators did not have the option to be updated when new versions were available.
