| In a few days we are requiring stronger user passwords. This will not impact existing passwords. Password strength will only be validated during new registrations or when a user changes their password. GS will return an error stating the password is weak and what the requirements are when a new password is being set. Here are the new Pwd requirements: Minimum 8 characters Contain characters from three of the following four categories: * English uppercase characters (A through Z) * English lowercase characters (a through z) * Base 10 digits (0 through 9) * Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %) |

| * Strong passwords are now required during registration or when passwords are changed * 90 day password expiration and two factor authentication (2FA) during sign-in options are now available * Several Organization Notification glitches have been addressed such as being able to name a filter properly * Component and Dashboard content store recovery added. Content store bugs can sometimes leave items hung where they still exist but can't be viewed. We've added logic during Component and Dashboard searches to identify and recover those items during a search. They will be placed under the root in a folder called Recovered. Only the org owner will see and have access to that folder. * GS SQL schedule Repeat/NoRepeat option added:  * GS SQL leaves beta. More information here.... |

| GS's SMS carrier 10DLC application was approved today. All SMS messages should be arriving now. - For customers using GS Branding and don't want to see "Powered by GroveStreams" in text messages: Reach out to us, we are considering allowing customers to get their own SMS phone number which has been carrier 10DLC approved. There might be a fee associated with this depending on the solution we end up with. |

Derivation cycles are running about 40% faster * In the process of strengthening web server security. Your devices may be getting HTTP error code 400 if they are violating latest security standards. See this thread for more details. |

| * In the process of increasing the number of web servers and replacing our website load balancer to improve response times and stability This will take place over the next few days. All should be non-impacting to users, but there is a chance that changing the load balancer could disrupt website calls for a brief time (seconds or a minute or two). Part of this process is testing load balancer failovers in a live environment. We'll post the times that we expect to make these types of risky changes. The new load balancer will have the same ip address as our old one. No one should be hard coding the GS ip address in their devices as it could change someday. |

| Second attempt failed as expected. Gathered more diagnostics and we're waiting for our server provider to analyze the results and schedule the next attempt. They're trying to make our current IP address virtual so that we can assign it on the fly to two new LBs, a primary and a failover. A virtual test IP worked beautifully, but our current IP is being stubborn. |

| Load Balancer was swapped out. We've been sorting out some networking issues that impacted client initiated jobs like Reconcile. Response times are a bit better as we've temporarily added some web servers. We'll be replacing almost every server with better servers over the next month. |

| * Strengthened SSL Cipher suite on one web server. Monitoring logs and customer responses before applying to all web servers. Will not impact modern browser use. May impact devices passing data using the https api, but we monitored logs over the last couple of days and didn't see any devices using old ciphers. |

| * Increased store and job server capacity by at least 4x. Data is leveling out across the new servers so you may see some response time peaks. After leveling, response times will be faster, jobs (derived streams, reconciles, ...) will complete faster and larger GS SQL scheduled queries will be supported. The old servers ares still part of the cluster. We'll be decommissioning them over the next day or two so you may see more minor spikes as data levels out. Started server upgrade: Aug 2nd, 2024 4:45 PM US Central time |

The new Delete permission defaults to the Write permission setting for items that had permissions configured. * Improved the "Are you sure you want to delete ..." message to include more information about what's being deleted.

| Patch Applied: * Fix for a derived stream's dependent being deleted and causing issues with editing and saving the component that the derived stream belongs to. The deleted stream should still show up in the list with the name of 'MISSING' and give the modeler the chance to fix it:  * Fix for a derived stream precedent detection for a stream that originally wasn't a derived stream during the first save but was after that. * Fix for "Move to.." in content folders. The move to folder had to have been expanded (lazy fetched) or the move to would fail. * Remove spell check for several GS SQL Editors * Fixed GS SQL Test window's Display Filter * Added startDate and endDate to stream's quick view:  |
