2. -Xsan2 client uuid is now automatically updated when restoring a disk image with an existing Xsan configuration.
   

Assistant

1. -basic master/replica topology support. You can now install a DeployStudio Server replica on a separate machine and get its repository in sync with one DeployStudio Server master. The replica sync is triggered daily using default periodic mechanism (3:15). You can also start it manually using the DeployStudio Server system preference pane.
   

2. -SMTP authentication and TLS support for email notifications,
   

3. -if email notifications are enabled, the SMTP configuration is tested when pressing continue button,

Notes

1. -We strongly recommend to create new DeployStudio NetBoot sets with the DeployStudio Assistant shipped with this release.
   

2. -HFS volumes imaging may take a while to properly release the generated disk image (progression bar near or equal to 100% completion). Please be patient or plug the computer to image to the server in target mode.
   

3. -creating Mac OS X disk images over NFS or CIFS may not work (hdiutil freezes after writing a couple bytes).
   We’ve not reproduced this with Mac OS X 10.6 based DeployStudio NetBoot sets.
