Pulse v6.4.0-rc.6 Release Notes

v6.4.0-rc.6 focuses on more complete host data and earlier hardware-fault detection, while making alert behavior more predictable ahead of the stable release.

What's improved

• Complete standalone PBS details — Standalone PBS entries retain agent-reported system, hardware, network, disk, thermal, service, history, and management details in the full drawer (#1723).
• Complete LXC filesystem coverage — Filesystem usage continues to populate across larger LXC hosts instead of later containers being left without mount data when earlier collection is slow (#1477).
• Earlier disk-cabling warnings — SMART UDMA CRC growth now raises a warning, resets its baseline after a counter reset or disk replacement, and clears the active event after a stable sample (#1776).
• More predictable alerts — Enabled state, configured values, delays, and built-in defaults now follow the same policy path across resource types, with the superseded lifecycle state removed.
• Safer alert-history queries — Oversized requested result limits are bounded before memory is reserved, preventing the request from driving an unnecessarily large allocation.

Before you upgrade

• This is a release candidate. Stable installations remain on v6.3.2 unless an operator explicitly selects this version.
• Existing configurations remain valid and no manual data migration is required.
• Pulse Mobile does not consume the changed PBS browser detail or alert evaluation internals. Existing mobile, Relay, onboarding, pairing, push, and mobile-facing API contracts are unchanged, so no companion update is required.
• Windows Unified Agent binaries are checksum- and detached-signature-verified but are not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show an Unknown Publisher warning.

Known issues

• Windows Authenticode signing remains unavailable for this candidate; use the published checksum and detached signature when verifying Windows agent downloads.

Install
