danger

Be aware of the following identified vulnerabilities:

7.3.1 latest​

Release date: 2023-05-17

Corrections​

Configuration settings

  • For Solaris-based VMs on a VMware infrastructure, the agent now correctly sets the isVirtual flag to “true”. As a consequence, the license requirements are calculated correctly and the correct compliancy status is shown in Snow License Manager.

7.3.0​

Release date: 2023-05-03

Enhancements​

File scanning
Files extensions and prefix recognition

  • The agent is now able to recognize both ".swidtag" and ".swtag" files, as well as filenames with the prefix ".regid". The agent looks for these extensions and the prefix in all locations where the file system scan is performed. (04623176)

7.2.1​

Release date: 2023-03-15

Corrections​

Agent update

  • The agent no longer crashes when handling update packages where LocalServiceWindow is null (04620437)

7.2.0​

Release date: 2023-02-01

Enhancements​

Communication
Agent to server communication

  • When the “send” command is run on the command line and there are no snowpacks available on the device the agent no longer calls home, reducing unnecessary communications with the server.

7.1.0​

Release date: 2022-09-07

Complete release notes  is found here

Enhancements​

  • Unix Agent privilege elevates configured commands (04560181)

Corrections​

  • The Unix agent now correctly parses dates in Solaris package database, regardless of system locale (04527140)

7.0.0​

Release date: 2022-06-15

Complete release notes  is found [here](http://URL of the article on Snow Globehttps://community.snowsoftware.com/s/article/Release-Notes-Snow-Inventory-Agent-for-Unix-7-0)

Enhancements​

  • The agent now gathers hardware system identities used further down the chain to uniquely identify the system.

  • Java 8 and later is now supported, allowing use of more modern and secured versions of Java.

Corrections​

  • In the rare case when the “file”-command outputs unexpectedly formatted data, the agent now logs the offending data and continues to the next line in the data. (04527140)

  • Changes forced by newer Java versions result in a slight change in log output; tags such as “PRIVOP”, “– Start –” and “– Stop –” are no longer present in the logfile.

  • The agent now prefers CPU identifiers containing “SPARC” over “sunv4”.
