Subject: General Availability Announcement for Continuous Delivery Director 8.1

 On behalf of Broadcom, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that Continuous Delivery Director 8.1 is now available. 

 New features for Continuous Delivery Director 8.1 include: 

• Business Applications Integrated with your Release Pipeline - We've fully integrated business applications and subcomponents with releases. You can create releases for each business application version and associate the relevant applications with the release.
• Business Applications Connected to Adaptive Testing - We've incorporated business applications into adaptive testing so that all subcomponents are integrated logically and tested as a group. Testing such as integration, E2E, and performance testing helps to expose defects in the interaction between subcomponents when they are integrated.
• AD/LDAP User Groups - Use our SAML integration to import user groups from your AD/LDAP system.
• Multi-SAML Domains - We've let you configure SSO SAML authentication to multiple ID provider (IDP) domains.
• Ignore Failed Tasks - Allow build promotion even if a specific task fails so you can decide if you want to deploy.
• Display Application Version on the Releases Page - Easily see which applications and which application versions are in use in releases. Search for releases by the application version.

We have included a Product Brief that details the features and highlights of this release.  We also encourage you to visit the Continuous Delivery Director product information page on the Broadcom Support Online website at https://support.broadcom.com.
