Questions and Concerns
Please add any questions or concerns you would like discussed at today's meeting.
- I suppose it's preferred to upgrade 3.5.10 to 3.6.6, not 3.6.4. There is AFAIK no need to this mid-step.
- Support update (We don't have metrics and we're sad-made):
- 3.6.4 top issues were:
- Hangs caused by too-short timeout on hang detector (fixed in 3.6.6)
- Hangs at startup/can't load any windows
- 3.6.6 top issues so far:
- Firewall/AV complaints (should have mostly cleared up, zzxc?)
- Proxy complaints
- 3.6.4 top issues were:
