=== Enhancements: ===

  * Template #wait directive support. See [[menu:build:templates:template_edit#Direcives|Template directives]]
  * The 'Operatie - Tools - Ping tool' has been reworked to allow free-form ip- and host-address pinging of interfaces too. See [[menu:operate:tools:ping|Ping nodes]]
  * The 'Node topology - Add subnets’ form now supports multiselect on ports AND subnets allowing for quick assignment of a series of subnets to a range of ports on a device, including connected interfaces when topology exist.
  * The ‘Build’ main-form ‘search’ function has been extended and optimized.
  * Password-sensitive fields in the database are now stored encrypted in the database. Includes customer-based key-management and customizable field-selection. Encryption uses AES256 algorithm. See [[guides:reference:database:encryption|Encryption]]
  * Support of customizable ‘Change-id’ requirements in jobs. See [[guides:reference:jobs:job_configuration|Job Configuration]]
  * Support of Job approvals. Each job-type can be assigned requirements on job-approvals before being executed. The approval requirements can be defined in high detail using thresholding, limiting and authorisation level parameters. Jobs requiring approval are listed as ‘pending’. See [[guides:reference:jobs:job_configuration|Job Configuration]]

  * Job notifications. Email notifications can be sent automatically for jobs pending approval (sent to user-group email-list of job owner). Also notifications can be issued for approval rejections, job cancellations or expiry (sent to owner).
  * New customizable tool-setup XML file where scheduler queue and per-job-type configurations can be made (approvals, notifications, auditors, change-id validations)
  * Local NetYCE Wiki installation and customer-enabled updates. See [[maintenance:downloads:wiki_updates|Download WIKI installation files]]
  * Extended job-tools with text-box entry for 'SiteCode' values
  * Subnet name and Subnet description now have distinctive references in the forms. Description is shown were relevant

  * To distinguish the various NetYCE servers more easily, each server-button in the title bar can be assigned is own (customizable) text and button color.

  * HP Comware-7 vendor module 
  * Additional tools that support 'Change-id' field and customizable approval settings

=== Optional trial release ===
  * A rewrite of the service types including enhanced syntax checking and full API and custom-variables
