What's new

This release contains the following bug fix:

  • Upload issue - This release fixes an upload problem where upload restarts because of failures can slow the rate of upload completion. This problem can occur when uploading a dataset that primarily consists of files that are large in size relative to available bandwidth, particularly, but not limited to, when bandwidth throttling is active. This change ensures sufficient opportunity for upload completion before restarting upload for a given file.

This release also contains the following updates:

  • The static IP address for Azure Data Box Gateway is retained across software updates.
