[JonnyRabinowitz]

Happy to share that Endpoint Security Client E87.31 for Windows, released in July 2023, is now the RECOMMENDED version (instead of E86.80).

See sk181206 for the complete list of enhancements and more information on E87.31 for Windows release.

Thankfully, no issues for me, as Im using barebone vpn client, not harmony endpoint.

Good to hear. There is no conflict between the 87.41 (latest) that is now available and the fact that 87.31 (recommended) is designated as the recommended release

By definition, the latest release will be the latest software version and include latest enhancements and fixes, including for security issues. All latest releases are fully supported from the time of release and general availability

However, for those who want to upgrade less frequently the recommended version can do this based on the recommended release. Recommended release is determined after observing operation of a release in the field and based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as the number of clients where the release is installed and any degradations in functionality relative to prior client releases

We have few customers who use harmony endpoint and considering at least 100 hours we spent with TAC troubleshooting all the issues (mind you, I have to honest, its gotten wayyy better compared to say 3 years ago), among all the lessons we learned, onf of them is to ALWAYS use recommended version : - )
