<font size=2 face="sans-serif">IBM is pleased to announce that Patch Management
for SUSE is releasing support for Btrfs snapshot rollbacks and several
enhancements for package installation and custom repository management.</font>
<br>
<ul>
<li><font size=2 face="sans-serif">SLE Btrfs Snapshot Management<br>
You can manage Btrfs filesystem snapshots by using the rollback feature
of the <b>SLE Btrfs Snapshot Management </b>dashboard. This feature allows
you to restore to a previous system state at which a snapshot was taken.</font>
<li>
<li><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Enhanced package installation task<br>
You can use the <b>Install packages by using zypper</b> task (ID #19) to
install software that is in your custom repositories. Custom repositories
can give you the flexibility to control what you can deploy on the endpoints
in your environment. <br>
<br>
The <b>Install packages by using zypper</b> task is enhanced to allow you
to update all the packages on the endpoint and to install packages by using
additional zypper flags or based on the CVE number.</font>
<li>
<li><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Enhanced SLE Custom Repository Management
dashboard<br>
The repository registration feature in the <b>SLE Custom Repository Management</b>
dashboard now allows you to enable autorefresh and URI checks.</font></ul>
