New features and enhancements |
V14.0.3, Enterprise Edition |
Note: To address Java and Liberty vulnerabilities, the installer has been upgraded from version 14.0.2 to 14.0.3. However, as the web application remains unchanged, the version numbers displayed in the web UI and log files still show as 14.0.2. If you have downloaded the installer for version 14.0.2, update to version 14.0.3 to ensure that the Java and Liberty vulnerabilities are addressed.
