Just to emphasize - these changes are on a private branch, they are not about to appear in a 3.4.x release, so you won't have any sudden impact from this. However, testing the branch and suggesting how it could be useful to you is very welcome, e.g. if a new HOST/@UUID attribute appears, will that upset any script you use for XML parsing? > Do you have some screen-Shots or a public instance, so we can see how > this change is or is not user-visible in the webgui?

I believe that is the convention I've always followed with any release branch (e.g. 3.4.[X+1]), only on a minor release (e.g. 3.[X+1].0) is there a possibility of config tweaks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
