Release summary details (including any impacts) may be updated as we near the release date.
[2020-04-06 04:30 UTC] Resolved Customers that had enabled external authentication, like Office365, Google, Okta, etc., were unable to log into older versions of Visualizer. This occurred on April 6th at approximately 04:30 UTC. This issue was corrected at 21:15 UTC.
[2020-04-06 21:40 UTC] Resolved The Visualizer 9.0.2 Installer was configuring the installed Visualizer product to reference a few internal assets. The installation programs were replaced April 6th at 21:40 UTC.
[2020-04-06 22:04 UTC] In Progress There is a known migration requirement for Quantium V9 Object Services that use custom verbs. The V9 deployment would have affected some customers of our Community Edition and paid customers that have AppVantage hosting. This delayed the deployment of the Community Edition in the Frankfurt and Virginia regions. We have built out the necessary configuration changes and will update the existing regions at 12:01 local time in each region. The V9 upgrades to the community editions in Frankfurt and Virginia will be deployed concurrently.
[2020-04-07 02:15 UTC] Resolved Remaining regions have been updated to V9 and all existing regions were patched.
