Release Date: 4 May 2021

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue in data retrieval from the Tanium Data Service that could cause performance problems or, in rare circumstances, loss of all workbench functionality.
• Fixed an issue that could cause URI's generated on the Deployments page to exceed maximum URL length when many computer groups were present.
• Fixed a user interface issue that caused the endpoint count to show 0 in the Deployments index page.
• Fixed an issue that could cause counts on the Deployment status page to not match the cached results in Interact.

Prerequisites

• Tanium End-User Notifications 1.6.5 or later.
• End-User Notifications and End-User Self Service are not currently supported on Linux or macOS.

Supported Tanium Platforms

Tanium Deploy 2.6.181.0000

Release Date: 27 April 2021

Resolved Issues

• Resolved a problem with software package file uploads taking much longer than expected under high-latency conditions. Uploads should now complete 20-400% faster.
• Fixed a rare issue that caused the Package Gallery to stop updating until the Deploy module service was restarted.
• Fixed an issue where applicability checks with unicode characters caused the software package catalog to fail to distribute.

Prerequisites

• Tanium End-User Notifications 1.6.5 or later.
• End-User Notifications and End-User Self Service are not currently supported on Linux or macOS.

Tanium Deploy 2.6.178.0000

Release Date: 30 March 2021

Improvements

• Significant performance improvements on endpoints during software applicability scans. Scans now consume 1/100th of the time and impact they previously did on the slowest 5400 RPM disks and about 1/10th of the time and impact even on the fastest NVME drives.
• Added expiration for Office 365 files after 30 days of not being requested in order to reduce disk space usage on the Tanium Server. Files will automatically re-download to the Tanium Server if needed again.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue that allowed targeting expansion in deployments using Targeting Criteria > Filter Builder.
• Fixed an issue that caused an error if a user browsed to a deployment that targeted a deleted computer group.

Prerequisites

• Tanium End-User Notifications 1.6.5 or later.
• End-User Notifications and End-User Self Service are not currently supported on Linux or macOS.

Tanium Deploy 2.6.173.0000

Release Date: 16 March 2021

Improvements

• Added Approved URLs for Office 365 in the Deploy package gallery.
• Added many user interface/usability enhancements and bug fixes.
• Added additional validation and warning messages throughout the Deploy workbench.
• Removed Python 2.x as a module dependency. Users should ensure they have created security exclusions to allow Tanium processes to run with Python 3.x.
• Removed the Time-to-Live (TTL) settings from Deploy configuration settings. The settings are no longer used.
• Improved the Interact drill downs from the Deploy workbench to include cached results from offline endpoints.
• Vertical bar characters are no longer allowed in deployment names or software package product vendor, product name, and product version fields.
• Added a warning message for unapplied applicability rules when trying to save a software package.
• Added a check and a banner when the Deploy Action Group is targeting “No Computers.”
• Added details to Software Packages and Software Bundles to show any deployments that include them.
• Added a feature to automatically move the default end time forward when adjusting the default start time on a deployment. A user-configured end time is NOT automatically adjusted.
• Added a warning when duplicate success codes are entered in Run Command operations and also prevented the package from being saved until the duplicates are removed.
• Added endpoint counts to the maintenance window enforcement status. For example: 65% (15467).
• Added input validation to prevent the use of quotation marks in the File/Folder commands, which already automatically quote-enclosed paths.
• Added new drill down reports to deployment and maintenance window details pages.
• Added the ability to create new deployments from the Deployments page.
• Added the ability to filter out inactive deployments by age.
• Added the ability to import a package with inaccessible file references to edit later.
• Improved button and control placement in the software package editing interface to streamline package creation.
• Show only active deployments on the Deploy Overview page instead of active and inactive deployments.

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue that could prevent the removal of targeted computer groups from maintenance windows.
• Fixed an issue that caused the initialization status to always show “Initializing” for some users.
• Fixed an issue that could cause enforced computer groups to be displayed multiple times for maintenance windows.
• Fixed an issue where a management rights error could be displayed if a user without rights browsed to a deployment targeting a deleted computer group.
• Fixed an issue where targeting criteria on deployments and self-service profiles were displayed as the QuestionGroupID instead of the filter text.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Distribute Over Time settings in deployment templates from being added to deployments.
• Fixed an issue that left one of the notification options hidden.
• Windows-only options are now correctly enabled when selecting a Windows package and disabled when selecting a non-Windows package.
• Fixed an issue that prevented single deployment templates from being saved or updated.
• Fixed an issue that would change the computer group target if the user clicked "Cancel" instead of “Save” in the "Target Computer Groups" window.
• Fixed an issue where "In Use" and "Not in Use" filters for software packages were not working correctly.
• Fixed an issue where "Require Source Files" would become automatically deselected when deleting the last file in a software package.
• Fixed an issue where Deploy would fail to upgrade due to a rare timeout condition.
• Fixed an issue where extremely resource-constrained endpoints could wrongly indicate a failed package deployment due to a premature timeout.
• Fixed an issue where in some Deploy environments, using the “Filter by text" box on the Self Service Profiles page would fail and generate an error message.
• Fixed an issue where incorrect placeholder text was in place for install requirements/verification for registry path and registry data.
• Fixed an issue where the Deploy - Software Package Applicability Details would generate an execution error when a nonexistent package ID was referenced.
• Fixed an issue where the Deploy workbench made unnecessary calls to an API that did not function.
• Fixed an issue that caused the maintenance window preview for "Next 5 Instances" to adjust for Daylight Savings time change even if "Use endpoint local time" was selected.
• Fixed an issue where the Require Source Files option would be enabled for Remove operations when adding files to an existing software package.
• Fixed configuration approvals so that new and changed items in Deploy can be approved or rejected.
