474567

Issue: javascripts end mail action only substitutes replacement strings 
on first execution of action.

FIXED: Variable inputs to JavaScript plugin actions retained the variable 
input from the first correlated event to trigger the action. The action 
framework has been fixed to correctly accept variable input from all 
correlated events.

468118

Issue: Emailing large report results takes a very long time.

FIXED: Errors sending email with large attachments (for example, 
incidents with associated data) have been resolved.

468130

Issue: Intermittent unique constraint violation on EVENTS table, 
particularly during startup.  Improper shutdown resulted in attempts to 
insert duplicate events into the database, which resulted in the message 
"ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint 
'events_p_[date]_events_p_max_pk'"  

FIXED: Duplicate events are cleared from the buffer and no errors are 
generated.

452471

Issue: Collector debugger Upload function does not properly update the 
Package object of the Plugin object store in the DB.

FIXED: Uploading a Collector through the Collector debugging interface 
properly loads information from the Collector's package.xml file. 

452112

Issue: Instructions are needed to verify that Advisor and exploit 
detection are working from start to finish.

FIXED: Advisor is now working properly. A section has been added to 
the “Testing the Installation” chapter of the Installation Guide to describe 
how to test Advisor.

475280

Issue: Active Views does not work properly if client time is not in sync
