It is our great pleasure to announce Version 3.6.1 of openATTIC.

3.6.1 is a bugfix release for the 3.6 stable branch, containing fixes for multiple issues that were reported by users.

In addition to that, it contains several usability enhancements and security improvements.

Behind the scenes, we continued with converting the WebUI code into Angular components in preparation for moving to Angular 2 in the near future.

Note that this release depends on a DeepSea version 0.8.2 or higher, as one improvement to the iSCSI target management (OP-2926) required making changes to both openATTIC and DeepSea.

Your feedback, ideas and bug reports are very welcome. If you would like to get in touch with us, consider joining our openATTIC Users Google Group, visit our #openattic channel on irc.freenode.net or leave comments below this blog post.
