Enhancements:

1. [T10] Added 1 and 2 hour options to backup and snapshot scheduling as requested by our forum users.

3. [T11] Added Time Machine archive backup support.
4. [T11] Update backup job logs while the backup job is still running.


Bug fixes:

1. [T6] Fixed a memory leak with the Network driver on the ReadyNAS Ultra 4, Ultra 6, NVX, Pro, and 2100. Folks who have reported problems with NFS, AFP, Rsync, and iSCSI, please help us verify this fix.

3. [T10] Fixed network empty value status in the Network page.
4. [T10] Took out Fast CIFS Writes performance option on x86 systems. No benefit on non-Sparc systems.

9. [T11] Quiet down NVX early in the boot process.
10. [T11] Fixed cosmetic issues in the Streaming Services tab.


Limitations:
1. IE 6 no longer supported. Please update to IE 7 or 8.
2. Volume expansion will not work beyond 16 TB. To support 16 TB or greater, you'll have to factory default with that capacity in place.
3. Snapshot resizing has been disabled in the release. We will re-enable this feature in a future update.
