Summary
The following enhancements and changes have been made for all SaaS environments and may be further documented in the SaaS Self-Service 'User guide'. These improvements have been made available between the 2025.1 update and the 2025.2 update.
Quarterly Maintenance includes automatic updates
For customers who are not enrolled in Continuous Updates, Stibo Systems updates SaaS environments to the latest software build during each quarterly maintenance window. This ensures consistent application of the latest bug fixes, security patches, and stability enhancements. To support this process, Stibo Systems provides customers with clear visibility into the changes included in each update and the ability to perform and validate the update themselves, ahead of the maintenance window and at their own convenience.
Starting four weeks prior to each maintenance window, the SaaS Self-Service UI will display alerts in multiple locations. These alerts will appear when a 'maintenance image', which is an image with critical fixes as described above, is available for an environment and provided as an update option.
New delta change log
Customers can view a delta change log when updating to a new image within the same STEP version. This delta change log compares the image currently used with the selected image for the update and lists all changes to be applied when performing the update.
Improved environment availability status information
Additional status information is now displayed when an environment is unavailable. Statuses such as 'stopping', 'starting up', and 'retrying startup due to failure' allow customers to track the progress of an environment update.
IP Access Control allows exclusion of API paths
The STEP IP access control configuration for an environment now allows customers to exclude specific API paths, in addition to the existing option to exclude certain Web UIs from IP access control.
