New features
New features in SSB 7.0.1 LTS:
-
From version 7.0.1 LTS, SSB introduced support for syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) Appliance 4000.
NOTE: Starting from version 7.0.1 LTS, syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) supports the SSB 4000 appliance. However, the usual upgrade path to the newest feature version is supported only if the feature version to which you want to upgrade also supports the SSB 4000 appliance. Because of this, for example, you cannot upgrade from version 7.0.1 LTS to version 7.2F.
-
The operating system underlying the SSB appliance has been upgraded. The upgrade brings you a more recent and a more secure version of the operating system, with longer support lifetime.
-
Starting from this release, you must activate the secondary node of an SSB cluster at the end of a HA SSB cluster upgrade process.
