<font size=2 face="sans-serif">A new site has been published to all customers
entitled to patch content. This site will not activate by default and should
have no affect if it is not activated.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial"><b>New Capabilities: </b></font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) The patching domain spec has changed.
Where it used to have a grid of recent and new patch content, there is
now a dashboard of current patch status that goes across all patch sites.
This dashboard can be used to view any single patch site as well. There
are also two nodes below this for New and Modified content, so that functionality
is not lost. These nodes are now able to use quick search for content,
which is not possible in the older grid view. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) The site also includes a Corrupt
Patch Deployment Wizard. This was originally built for Schwab and it simply
creates copies of the corrupt fixlets with the reboot required statements
removed. This is useful for putting them into baselines. Customers may
select Fixlets or Baselines, or may paste in a listing.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"><b>Reason for Change: </b></font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The new Patching Support site is being
added so that we can stop overloading the "Patches for Windows (English)"
site with all of the wizards, dashboards, and tools that surround patch
content. In the future, those components should be shifted into Patching
Support.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial"><b>Actions to Take:</b></font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">1) An administrator must log into BES Admin
to propogate a new masthead with the updated license.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">2) An administrator must enable the Patching
Support site in the BigFix License Overview dashboard.</font>
