Claire Cadman - can we pull in the due date for this by a few days (maybe by Friday, Oct 8th)? Last time we didn't have enough time to get additions from the eng leads.

These are the changes in 7.4.1:

The v4 catalog endpoint now supports arbitrary fact termini.

Support TLS v1.3 in FIPS.

 

Both of those are essentially PE only features and I would not put out any Server highlights for this release.

The only thing worth calling out is probably

  • Added an optimization to improve the performance of the inventory endpoint when filtering on a trusted fact.
