TNSR 22.10 Release Notes¶

About the TNSR 22.10 Release¶

This is a regularly scheduled TNSR software release including new features and bug fixes.

TNSR 22.10 revision 2¶

There is a minor revision to the initial release, TNSR software version 22.10-2. This revision corrects update URLs in the ISO image and includes an OpenSSL security update.

Note

This is not a point release or new full release, but a rebuild of TNSR 22.10 to address errata.

For users already running TNSR 22.10-1, use the Updating via the shell method to pull in the latest updates for Ubuntu and TNSR to get 22.10-2. Afterward, use the following command to ensure key TNSR packages are updated to the latest revisions:

$ sudo apt install tnsr=22.10-2 tnsr-dataplane-netns=22.10-2

This does not apply to users upgrading from 22.06 to 22.10-2 as that process will pull in the latest version of the packages automatically.
