Notifications when Patches Become Available (Improvement)

The system distinguishes between updates and patches. When an update becomes available, your learning environment is automatically scheduled for to be updated. However, when a patch is released, it is not automatically scheduled. Instead, patches are included in the next update, which will be automatically scheduled when it becomes available. As part of this enhancement, System Administrators now receive a notification when a patch is available. The notification prompts administrators to review the release notes and, if the patch is beneficial, to manually schedule an update to their system. If a patch is immediately applied, it will be automatically included with the next scheduled update.

Rescheduling an Update to the Staging Server Is Now Done Directly from the Staging Server (Improvement)

The learning environment now allows you to reschedule updates more efficiently. Previously, rescheduling updates for both the production server and the staging server had to be done through the production server. With this enhancement, rescheduling updates to the staging server must now be handled directly from the staging server itself.
