Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue that prevented the Inspect MSI button from appearing after uploading an MSI file to a software package.
• Fixed an issue that could cause module import to fail under certain circumstances.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Architecture value from being used in install verification evaluation.
• Fixed an issue that loaded a font file from a third party site when API Docs were viewed.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Self Service client's History tab to display duplicate entries with different results for one deployment.
• Fixed an issue where resource-constrained endpoints could wrongly indicate a failed package deployment due to a premature timeout.
• Fixed an issue where the Save and Finish Later button was not disabled on in-use packages, which could result in broken deployments and profiles that use that package.
• Fixed an issue that could cause a planned notification or reboot after a deployment, even if the deployment failed.
• Fixed an issue that caused the reboot task to fail if a system shutdown was already scheduled on Windows endpoints.
• Fixed an issue that could cause file downloads to become unresponsive when a NotFound status is returned from the Tanium Client.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the Overview page charts not to populate if the environment has both a Tanium Action Group and Tanium Computer Group with the same name.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the latest database writes from being included when a support bundle was gathered.
• Fixed an issue that prevented software packages from being imported if they included a new operating system designation.
• Fixed an issue that allowed Python 2 tools to be used instead of Python 3 tools if both were present in Tanium on the endpoint.
• Fixed an issue that could cause an error when using the Date Picker component in the Deployment form.
• Fixed an issue that caused an uninitialized package in a self-service profile to prevent the entire profile from loading on endpoints.
• Fixed an issue that caused an Operating System name conflict to trigger an erroneous error saying there was a package name conflict.
• Fixed an issue that allowed a Deploy bundle to be created from the API without validating all required parameters were included in the request.
• Fixed an issue that allowed duplicate "Supported Operating Systems" to be created.
• Fixed an issue that prevented re-download of a package file that was previously removed in a deployment.
• Fixed the profiles patch API to ensure a response body is returned along with the success code.
• Fixed an issue that could in rare cases cause a package deployment to briefly and incorrectly report a Failed deployment before switching to Complete.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the evaluation of the third segment of an operating system version for Linux distributions (e.g., 18.04.05).
• Fixed a rare issue that could cause the Deploy process on an endpoint to become orphaned until reboot.
• Fixed an issue that caused the History tab in EUSS to show a failure after any user ran any software package operation configured with "Reboot Required" in the Self Service profile.

Known Issues

• If upgrading from Deploy 2.9.x or earlier and Approvals are enabled in Tanium Endpoint Configuration, all software packages will require re-approval after this upgrade due to additional metadata that was added to give more visibility into the settings in each configuration item.
• In all versions of Deploy, edits to Software Bundles will not be applied to existing deployments. Deployments should be recreated if the Software Packages included are changed.
