Bug Fixes
Web UI
- Fixed an issue where the Web UI would fail to load due to the appliance not receiving a new DHCP based IP address on server network which would cause issues in creation of the internal database, which in turn would lead to failing of the Web UI from loading.
- Fixed an issue where the Hub used a new secure comms API call to determine the size of disk failed to account for very large disk sizes above 2.1 TB.

Upgrading
If your current installed version of Stratusphere is 6.6.0-2 or higher, refer to the Stratusphere Upgrade Guide: 6.6.0-2 to 6.6.1-2 to upgrade to 6.6.1-2.
If your current installed version of Stratusphere is 6.6.0-1, refer to the Stratusphere Upgrade Guide: 6.6.0-1 to 6.6.1-2 to upgrade to 6.6.1-2.
If your current installed version of Stratusphere is 6.5.1-2, refer to the Stratusphere Upgrade Guide: 6.5.1.2 to 6.6.0-2 (PDF format only) to upgrade to 6.6.0-2 first, and then refer to the Stratusphere Upgrade Guide: 6.6.0-2 to 6.6.1-2 to upgrade to 6.6.1-2. If Enhanced Security Mode is enabled on 6.5.1-2 appliances, Liquidware strongly recommends using the console to upgrade to 6.6.0-2. The appliance will ask for a reboot to prepare for accepting the upgrade. After the reboot, you should initiate the upgrade steps again.
