Changes compared to 25.6.2
New Features
MSI Installer Now Available For Windows
To provide more flexibility for installing the Comet Backup desktop application on Windows, Comet 25.6.3 offers a new .msi installer option.
Using a .msi installer is great option for mass deployments and supports all the install features and flags that Comet's .exe installer offers.
Enhancements
Improved Comet Storage Gateway Configuration Behaviour
Self-Hosted Storage Gateway Only
In Comet 25.6.3, significant changes have been made to Comet's Storage Gateway.
The first is, on startup Comet will now validate if Storage Gateway has been configured correctly. If not, an updated widget will appear on the Home screen noting that the storage configuration has failed. This means admins can see immediate feedback within Comet to check if a Storage Gateway is configured correctly.
The Storage Gateway settings has also been improved. Comet will now validate Storage Gateway settings before changing them to ensure that it's configured correctly.
Comet Account Portal Navigation
Comet-Hosted Management Console Only
Under the Systems section of the left-hand navigation of a Comet-Hosted Management Console, a new Comet Account Portal button can be found.
This button allows Comet-Hosted partners to quickly jump back to the Comet Account Portal for easy acess to Licensing, Billing and Support.
