Further to the release note last week, the latest Release Candidate Agent v9.12.1 is ready to go. We’re making this available for download over the course of today, October 1st. Depending on your location, it might not be available until the end of the working day.

This RC agent adds support for the improved Agent check-in process following a device reboot – click here for more info on this much-requested enhancement and its benefits. This update also contains a few bug fixes and customer support priorities.

Below are the release notes for this update. Agent v9.10.2 stays as the GA Agent. We’re aiming to promote RC Agent v9.12.1 to GA as soon as we can give it a clean bill of health.
