Endpoint 10.0.0 Being Retired Soon??

I just checked on my SUM and saw this message.  Is there any more information on this?  When will it be retired?  If clients are left alone, will they be updated to 10.0.1. or 10.0.2?  Thanks in advance,

Jason

  • Hello Jason,

    the semantics of numbering have changed and are now quite strictly applied. There's still the basic detection data (VDL) update each month. Minor release numbers (10.0.x) indicate small but nevertheless significant changes. For example, LSP issues with 10.0.0 were addressed in 10.0.1.
    The warning is not really new, in a certain respect the wording has changed. You could and still can subscribe to a fixed version and usually can't select the minor release. After several months you were told that updates will no longer available (or words to this effect). Then either SEC automatically updated the fixed release or the CID was essentially stale if you decided to ignore the message.
    Retirement makes it much clearer that 10.0.0 is not considered current - neither in terms of support nor in terms of protection. These days 10.0.2 is out and SEC 5.1 is in the works (the Beta SAV is 10.0.4, dunno what it will be for the final release).
