R81.10 Full Release Notes

[Kevin_Orrison]

I've read through the release notes on the R81.10 EA page, but does anyone know if the full release notes are published yet? I'm curious on the full list of features to expect.

They won't be published until R81.10 is actually GA, which should be very soon.
I would not expect any new features above and beyond what's already in the EA release notes.

Hi @Kevin_Orrison , while indeed no new features or massive changes are expected, I have updated the latest  Release Notes draft document in the pubic EA download section. You can get it from there. while still draft, it is very close to the final version

Looks like the public EA has been closed? Most likely due to R81.10 GA looming right around the corner? At least I'm getting this when I hit the download button:

Our apologies, the Early Availability Program you are attempting to access does
not exist in the system or you are not entitled to access it.
To access an Early Availability Program, please register at the User Center.

So it seems like Public EA has been closed so there is no way for me to access this draft.

@RamGuy239 , 

Nope. it is still open

Are you logged in to the system?

[RamGuy239]

I am indeed logged in. I was accessing it a few days back. But now I'm no longer able to. I even have R81.10 Public EA access on two different user accounts and it's the same behavior on both.

[RamGuy239]

It's not all that important. I'd bet GA is right around the corner anyways as the download links for R81.10 GA Smart Console is already on the user center and we have references for R81.10 in several secure knowledge articles already.

I was only interested to have a look at the release notes and the guides for R81.10SP Maestro to see how the process of moving from R80.20SP has changed compared to R81. It was supposed to be much better so I'm eager to see the details as we skipped R81 entirely for all our Maestro customers as we were told that R81.10 would make it much more seamless.

Yep.GA is around the Corner.

We are updating some SK's with references to it as part of our preparations.

the SmartConsole was there for internal testing,  it is not any longer 🙂

as for Scalable Platform, Yes. the upgrade is much easier

here is a feedback we received just yesterday about Upgrade of R80.30 Scalable Platform and R80.20 Orchestrator to R81.10

“upgrade was very smooth, no issues, even for a first time. The whole upgrade passed of SGMs without lose even one single ping”

Thanks @RamGuy239 , will check it.

Yeah @shlomip looks like the EA is not currently accessible.
