As of today, no response. The link to Latest version: v10.5.0 Release Notes » from customer portal and broadcast via "product updates" on the NPM web console are incorrect and take you to a product update from last year. A simple mistake, but a pain to explain to management repeatedly... when they continue to ask questions about simple stuff like this. It can make conversations a bit tenuous when some in the audience would like to compare alternative network monitoring solutions.

Please dot the i's and cross the t's.
