Release notes

API Key Functionality Expanded Across All REST APIs: We have extended the API Key functionality, initially exclusive to event-based RTP, to cover our entire application. This enhancement allows users to generate and utilize an API Key for all available REST API endpoints, facilitating long-term integrations. We recommend periodically rotating the API Key to maintain security.

As part of our ongoing rebranding to MetaDefender Storage Security, we have updated the default rule to MetaDefender Storage Security inside MetaDefender Core in all new installations. This change ensures that new users start with the latest configuration tailored to MetaDefender Storage Security.

We have introduced a new field in the report to clearly mark discovery errors. This field will capture and display all errors when discovery fails due to a general issue, improving transparency and troubleshooting capabilities.

We have boosted our integration with myOPSWAT by introducing an advanced health status report for our product MetaDefender Storage Security. This new feature enables myOPSWAT to effectively diagnose and report problems within our product, enhancing overall functionality and user experience.

SSO administrators now have the ability to accept or decline new user invitations, aligning their permissions with those of local administrators. This update ensures greater control and parity in user management across our platform.

Discovery Service: We've implemented a fix for the multithreaded access issue in our Redis cache, ensuring enhanced stability and performance for the discovery service.

We have upgraded RabbitMQ to version 3.13, enhancing performance and stability.

Box Integration: Improved validation when the specified location does not exist on the remote storage.

Windows Native: We have made quality of life improvements and enhanced error messaging for Windows Native, aiming to streamline user experience and provide clearer feedback during install operations. Also, we now include the Visual C++ Redistributable (vc_redist) with our product, enabling full installation on offline Windows systems without the need for additional downloads. This enhancement simplifies setup and improves accessibility.

Database Migrations: We've improved the logging mechanisms in mongo-migrations to ensure more detailed and effective troubleshooting.

Added robust error handling for pre and post-process events in remediations, ensuring smoother operation and improved reliability during critical workflows.
