Tungsten Clustering 7.1.1

Build: 42

Release Date: 15 Dec 2023

End of Life Date: 7 Jul 2026

Release 7.1.1 contains a number of key bug fixes including one majoe bug fix that prevents switches from working correctly after upgrading from v6.

Warning

Due to JGroup libraries being updated in the 7.1.0 release, managers running releases older than 7.1.0 will not communicate with managers running 7.1.0+ therefore when upgrading to this release from anything older than 7.1.0, all nodes must be upgraded before proper cluster communication will be restored. Ensure the cluster is in MAINTENANCE before beginning the upgrade and do NOT SHUN nodes whilst a mix of manager versions are running.
