FIRMWARE 13.1.0 RELEASE DATE

What is the difference between 13.1 and 13.1.0.1? I noticed they are both on the download. 13.1.0.1 is just a fixed version they released after?

Looks like some fixes... not sure why it just wasn't included in the first release?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I look forward to seeing the documentation on 13.1 come online.

Found out from my rep... 13.1 is the FIPS compliant version, so that's what the gov folks will use or other orgs that require such. Time wasn't on their side to address the performance issues resolved in 13.1.0.1 so I assume we'll see a further update that adds FIPS compliance to the latter at some point.

Correct Ryan!
