Release Date: June 5, 2018
Feature Improvements
- Updated user interface with color scheme changes and layout improvements. Changes include: redesigned attribute selection screen, re-organization of the Inventory Management menu to include sources and destinations, and an update of the top rail menu items.

- Updated the AD User Details content to take advantage of the latest improvements for Active Directory lookup.
- Added Flexera as a destination. Use the existing Tanium Client on your endpoints to populate information in Flexera FlexNet Manager Suite (FNMS) through a SQL database. After you provide the credentials to the SQL database, Asset configures all the necessary sensors, reports, and connections in Tanium Connect to populate the Flexera integration database.
- Added external database source. Enhance the Asset database with external data from a MSSQL database. Define the relationship, select the attributes, and the external data will be updated on a scheduled basis.

Known Issues and Workarounds
- The Asset Installed Applications sensor for Mac will return "Google" for installed chrome extensions. This is the way that Apple reports the vendor.
- When running multiple "Asset Report" source connections in connect, the connection run may fail with SSL related errors. This has been experienced in environments with users on Tanium Server version 7.0 and 7.1 with less than four cores.
- A user may experience duplicate rows being exported via Connect when using "Asset Report" as a source. This only occurs with the v1 Query Engine and it is recommended that the user use the v2 query engine.
- A users may get an error when creating a report with unrelated tables and using the v2 Query Engine. This error is intentional and will prevent users from creating report results that may be too large and / or nonsensical.
