  • ALBUS-12931, ALBUS-12921, ALBUS-12884, ALBUS-12860 - NVMes on some Intel-based Apple machines were not detected.

  • ALBUS-12853, ALBUS-12681, ALBUS-12680 - SATA drives connected to Smart Array E208i-p or P408i-p controllers became offline during an erasure with e.g., "NIST 800-88 Purge".

  • ALBUS-12806 - Improving the drive detection on R760 (PERC H965i).

  • ALBUS-12937 - Older BDE versions were crashing on some systems (mostly servers).

  • ALBUS-12778 - Some drives fill some sectors with random data, after the Fingerprint or the Bootable Asset Report are written at the end of the erasure.

  • ALBUS-9904 - The "Clear TPM" popup was shown after each boot on some machines.

  • ALBUS-12954 - On the Keyboard test, replaced the combination P+P, F+F, S+S with Alt+P, Alt+F, Alt+S.

  • ALBUS-12668 - Improving the detection of the chassis type on Apple iMac 17,1.

  • ALBUS-12401, ALBUS-12150 - The Autopilot status detection returned false positives/negatives.

  • ALBUS-12981 - Two popups overlapped, one for "Storage controllers detected", the other for custom fields editing. Occuring in server environments.

  • ALBUS-12895, ALBUS-12988 - The screensaver was shown when BDE requested an interaction via a popup.

  • ALBUS-12842 - The screensaver lock in Automatic process was lifted during the erasure.

  • ALBUS-12867 - Occasional issues when sending a stored report to BMP (on a BDE installed on a machine).
