3.0.8

March 2021

Note

Do Not Upgrade Without Reading This First!

The following only applies to users upgrading from an older version of v3 to 3.0.8. When upgrading from v2 to v3, you must first be on latest, 2.8.3. Upgrade instructions can be found here.

  • Adjusted vulnerability Open/Close Time to be Scan Date instead of Updated Date. To preserve historic reporting, no existing data will be retroactively changed. If you would like to have your historic data migrated to match the new date ingestion logic, please open a support ticket to request a migration script.

  • Logic changes have been made to enforce vulnerability status uniqueness. Any vulnerabilities with multiple statuses will have their statuses updated in the migration to 2.8.2 from an earlier version of 2.X or updating from version 3.0.6. For additional information please review the Vulnerability Status Migration Logic.
