+==== Enhancement ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Local Wiki installation ===
+<WRAP indent>
+To install the NetYCE Wiki pages on a local NetYCE server to downloads were available to
+update the engine and the Wiki pages. This assumed that the manual steps involved with the
+initial installation were carried out properly.
+Now the installation is further automated at the upload and installation of the Wiki pages
+using the NetYCE front-end, eliminating the manual steps to activate the Wiki locally.
+The initial setup still requires various steps as are outlined in the Wiki page
+"Download WIKI installation files" at "https://wiki.netyce.com/doku.php/downloads:wiki_updates".
+The Wiki installation now also ensures that any customer-special Wiki pages are included
+with a local Wiki installation. They are clearly indicated using the customer name in
+the Wiki menu. Only those customer-special pages will be installed as are indicated by
+the customer license-file. To show the customer-special pages on the local
+Wiki requires the 'wiki-engine' to be updated.
+</WRAP>
+=== OSS integration: deltas update ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The datasets retrieved through the OSS integration can now determine changes in parameters (deltas).
+These changes are then mapped to service-types to update the NetYCE model while
+a joblist is created for scheduling by the operator to update the network.
+</WRAP>
+=== Service-types to check subnet-port assignments ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Three new service-type commands were added to the available set bringing the total to 274.
+Two of these are for verification purposes since they will return an alias if the given
+port and subnet are 'assigned'. The LOCATE-PORT-AT_SUBNET will return the port alias whereas
+the LOCATE-SUBNET-AT_PORT will return the subnet alias. Both require the subnet alias and
+the port alias.
+The LOCATE-PORTS-AT_SUBNET is slightly different. It requires a portlist-alis and a subnet-alias
+as input, and then returns only those ports that are assigned to the subnet. These are
+returned as a portlist-alias.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP_C7 file transfer over VPN ===
+<WRAP indent>
+In designs where 'management' traffic is routed over a distinct VPN, the NetYCE
+file transfers will fail. These connections are not initiated by the NetYCE server
+but by the device, that in those cases require the transfer command to include
+the VPN name used for management.
+To this end, the Node_vpn object now has the 'Vpn_management' attribute that is
+must identify the desired VPN. Since the Node_vpn inherits most attribute values from
+the Mpls_vpn object, the corresponding Mpls_management was added as well.
+The current implementation is - for now - limited to HP_C7 tftp transfers for
+the configuration backups. OS file transfers will not yet support the VPN.
+</WRAP>
+=== Service-type to set Vrf attributes ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The Mpls_vrf and Node_vrf objects were extended with 'Mpls_management' and 'Vrf_management'
+attributes respectively. This attribute is implemented as a checkbox to signal the Vrf
+is used for 'management' traffic.
+To allow the modeler to set or unset the 'Vrf_management' attribute, a new service-type
+was added that permits Node_vrf attributes to be changed: "ASSIGN - VRF - -attribute-".
+The 'Vrf_management' is used by NetYCE to transfer files between the device and the NetYCE
+server. If a Vrf is assigned to the node with the 'Vrf_manangement' set, the file transfer
+will specicially use the indicated Vrf.

+==== Change ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Obsoleted Cisco 'squeeze' ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Traditionally, several Cisco devices using flash drives required a 'squeeze'
+command to free up the disk space after a file was removed. This command was
+required when performing OS-upgrades make the available space usable.
+However, all (supported) Cisco devices have obsoleted this command and its
+requirement.
+Since the failed squeeze also affected the NetYCE OS-upgrade process, the use
+of the squeeze has been removed from the Cisco vendor modules.
+</WRAP>

+==== Fix ====
+</WRAP>
+=== Restore fail ===
+<WRAP indent>
+A problem was reported when restoring a database on a freshly build system.
+It would report a 'software error' at the end of the restore process. The issue
+will only be observed when no Jobs were present on the system. A test that updates
+the latest available Job-id failed when not finding any. This test has been corrected.
+</WRAP>
+=== Client type create bug fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed a bug in which client types can't be created anymore.
+</WRAP>
+=== Site Create Redirect ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Creating a site now redirects to the site edit form.
+</WRAP>
+=== Site Create Rabonet ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Create Site now shows rabonet data based on Show_migration in the lookup. Possible subject to change
+</WRAP>
+=== New Sitecode Search Zipcode ===
+<WRAP indent>
+You can now search for zip codes in the new sitecode form again.
+</WRAP>
+=== Max sites per Client and Client Type ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Client types and clients now allow for a max sites.
+</WRAP>
+=== Client search select ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Searching a client now automatically selects this in its grid.
+</WRAP>
+=== Switch Port Details Description ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Changing templates in the switchportdetails form now also changes the port's description.
+</WRAP>
+=== EVPN VLAN Search width ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The EVPN form VLAN search field is now wide enough again to search
+</WRAP>
+=== Site Notes Save ===
+<WRAP indent>
+When editing a site's site notes, the notes are now saved to the database.
+</WRAP>
+=== Free GRE's when deleting node ===
+<WRAP indent>
+When deleting a node using the NetYCE front-end, the GRE allocations used by
+this node were not freed. Performing the same action using the API did free them.
+This situation has been corrected.
+</WRAP>
+=== Switchport Color Fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+A real fix has been incorporated for the port colors that were wrong. The Red and Blue values got mixed up in the transition from YCE version 5 to 7. They are now set everywhere in the same correct way.
+</WRAP>
+=== Net reservations bug ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Net reservations in the IPv4 subnet form are now editable again.
+</WRAP>
+=== Update for scenarios with 'reload' ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Many of the scenario commands were changed to a more consistent naming convention.
+One of them was 'Reload' that is now named 'Reboot_node'. The old names are still
+supported however.
+This lead to a conflict in parameter names. The parameter 'reload' is now interpreted
+as a 'Reboot_node' command. The new syntax checker of the jobs correctly denies the
+operation causing the job to fail.
+By altering the standard scenarios for 'Startup-config' and 'Node-migration', the
+jobs created by the tools 'Startup config', 'Reload node' and 'Node migration' will
+no longer fail for this reason.
+</WRAP>
+=== Login change password ===
+<WRAP indent>
+When logging in using an expired password, the login prompted for an updated password and
+its verification. When done, the user is granted access under the assumption his password
+was updated.
+The password was not updated however, causing the user to be denied access when
+using his new password. If the old password was tried, the password update presented itself
+again. This bug has now been corrected.
+Another problem has been identified where the password expiry notification was behaving
+erratically. This will be corrected shortly.
+</WRAP>
+=== Client supernet form closes ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Fixed the bug where the client supernet details form could not be closed.
+</WRAP>
+=== Subnet form vlan can be empty ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The subnet datails form prevent users from making changes. This was due to
+a missing required field, in this case the 'Vlan-id' field.
+The 'Vlan-id' field has been removed from the field validations for IP subnets
+forms. This goes for version 4 and 6.
+</WRAP>
+=== Job logs current time ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The job logs form showed a current time of "null" in certain versions of firefox. This is now fixed.
+</WRAP>
+=== Missing permissions for custom table ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Athe custom NMS table was not accessible using the 'Admin - Custom data' tools. The table
+'Dhcp_profiles' needed to be included in the permissions to giv this access.
+Patch 17102303 adds these permissions if this table is present.
+</WRAP>
+=== IP Subnet vlan templates ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The available vlan-templates in the subnet-edit form was limited to a subset. Vlan-templates where the
+vendors vlan-interface name was not 'Vlan' were unlisted.
+By selecting using the interface-class 'Vl' instead of the interface-name 'Vlan' are all
+vendors' vlan-templates now listed.
+</WRAP>
+=== Browser Viewing ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Users with browser levels could not open the Client, Site, Node and Service forms in the past,
+even though this was desired. They can now open the forms, but are unable to save anything.
+Unless, of course, they are given the ability through the auth_permissions table.
+</WRAP>
+=== Node par-group default ===
+<WRAP indent>
+When creating a node many af its attributes are defined in the NodeType. When custom attributes
+are needed for a node, the NodeType needs to specify the group name of the custom attributes.
+This Par_group did not have a default value in NetYCE v7.0 where it did have one, 'Node', in
+v6.x.
+Now the Par_group 'Node' is assigned by default.
+</WRAP>
+=== Site-profile menu ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The drop-down menus in the Site edit form for Site_profile1 and Site_profile2 listed
+the 'description' along with the numeric value instead of the intended 'str_value' and
+its numeric value.
+This has been corrected.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP-C5 vendor module ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The HP_C5 vendor module for NetYCE version 7.0 proved to have several failures. Most due
+to the unverified status of the rewritten module.
+The issues corrected include:
+  * undetected login confirmation
+  * misaligned cli-mode setting and dependencies
+  * double responses to command confirmations or prompts
+  * node prompt detection issues
+  * undesired wait periods
+These corrected aspects will allow for the execution of command jobs using cli configuration
+changes and (nccm) backups.
+Verification of node startup-configuration pushes and reboots need yet to take place.
+</WRAP>
+=== HP-C7 vendor module ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The HP_C7 vendor module for NetYCE version 7.0 proved to have several failures.
+The issues corrected include:
+  * double responses to command confirmations or prompts
+  * omit 'flash:' in target filename when saving a configuration to disk
+  * correctly insert vpn name in file transfers
+</WRAP>
+=== Template edit fix ===
+<WRAP indent>
+The OK and Apply buttons in the Template Edit Form (not revisions) are visible again.
+</WRAP>
+=== Site Search ===
+<WRAP indent>
+Searching for certain sites doesn't crash the main form anymore.
+</WRAP>
