Looking at the chart above, it appears that Java 8u241 was released on the 17th...
Based on feedback from many users, the latest Chrome and Firefox upgrade packages no longer contain the pre-requisite rule which prevents the updates from being applied to servers. We consistently heard that it was a burden on our users to manually edit those package with each Chrome/Firefox release to ensure that their servers were kept up to date. We haven't applied the change to fresh install patches, only the upgrade packages and it's reflected in the description of each package.
Where are the latest patches? We used to get nine to thirteen new bundles of patches every month and now i've seen one bundle for the entire month. We are getting further behind and depend on Patch Manager to keep us secure with updates that mitigate critical security vulnerabilities. Given the problems the Orion team has had lately, it's more critical than ever we keep our products secure at least. I'm already looking at other Patch products just in case SolarWinds has given up supporting this product. This is the worst i've seen in many years of using Patch Management. And the team was doing really great work this past year and i thought the service levels were getting better and better. Did management get in the way???
Agreed, my company has a very tight security window in which I need to put out third party updates. Chrome 88 has been out for a week now, and I'm not seeing it in my Patch Manager, if updates are going to be slow is there any way that we could at least be informed? Someone who's in charge could at least post here explaining that things are taking more time?
Agreed. Two Chrome updates were missed. I finally see new updates today, but the FileZilla offered is already old and Chrome is still missing. I also had to update the download link for KeePass, as the one provided was inaccessible from my network. I have noticed this with other occasional updates with download URLs specifying a mirror in another country.
So, I just logged into Patch Manager, and I see that Chrome 88 is now available. I want to say two things;
1. Thank you for finally making some updates available. Granted, it's two weeks past when Chrome 88 was released, but I've now got it without having to build my own release.
2. I still can't believe that there's been no word whatsoever in either this thread, or the Patch Manager forums, about the slowness or how much longer we're going to be subjected to sporadic releases. SolarWinds already has a black mark on their face with the recent compromise, they don't need to add insult to injury by ignoring their existing customers.
Well, back to square one. Chrome is up to v88.0.4324.150, two versions past what is available in Patch Manager right now.
Again, it's getting absurd.
It is unacceptable to be two versions behind on a program as susceptible as an internet browser.
Where is the Chrome 88.0.4324.150 update? We need to release it as an EMERGENCY patch ASAP!
Well, thank you at least for updating Chrome and other programs. I'm a little surprised that nothing was posted in terms of an explanation as to why it took several of us complaining in a forum to get results, but whatevs...
