Other improvements:

Known issue's:

• Fixed DNS IP and restore of an autobackup
  • If you have flashed 9.0-release and restored a backup from a previous release, and you had configured a fixed DNS IP address, you will need to enter this again, as it can't be restored due to the aforementioned changes to the DNS code. If you have configured a fixed IP for the box as well, an autoinstall after the flash will fail as the download servers can't be reached without DNS.
  • If you have this, you must either convert your DNS to DHCP before the flash (and making the backup), or manually set your DNS again after the flash and the restore, and then manually run the autoinstall again via autobackup.
