The enhancements offered in this latest release include:

• 10.6 Workstation Compatible: To make the upgrade process more manageable, older workstations (starting with 10.6) can continue to work connected to newer server components (such as 10.7). This process allows the customers to plan for their older Workstation upgrade not immediately with the SV Server components.
• API Enhancements: As part of our commitment to provide the best products to our customers, we continue to enhance the v3 API with new functionalities. Along with creating the virtual services out of VSI/VSM, we have also added the ability to specify the Active Project Configuration and identify data that is typically stored in your data folder.  Additionally, when creating or updating a virtual service via RR pairs, the Think Time can be defined using the Specific or Global sidecars.
