Hi All,

R82 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator take #126 has been released today and is available for download.

Important Update:

Starting with this Jumbo release, we are moving away from assigning a separate “Recommended” designation to Jumbo Hotfix Accumulators (JHFs).

Each JHF will be considered recommended from the day of its release, as it contains important security, hardening, stability, and product fixes.

Customers should plan to adopt each latest Jumbo as part of their regular maintenance and security-update process, following their standard testing and change-management procedures.

We will also provide adoption-level information for each released Jumbo, offering greater transparency and helping customers make informed deployment decisions.

This change provides clearer guidance, simplifies the update experience, and supports the timely adoption of the latest security fixes and product improvements.

Download Availability:

• Jumbo documentation ( R82 )  
• CPUSE
• Can be provided by customer support

 List of resolved issues in this take can be found in the Jumbo documentation ( R82 )
