NewFeature not included, enabled, used or useful on all systems Cluster connection take-over

Routet connections are no longer interrupted in case of a failover as the stateful inspection firewall's internal data is now replicated to the other cluster node. Connections terminating or originating on a cluster node are still interrupted.

NewOnly on individual systems or under very specific conditions Cluster with shared Internet access

The two cluster nodes may now share the Internet connection (e.g. if only one ADSL line or only one Internet IP is available). While the backup node is in passive state it will connect to the Internet via the master. In case of a failover, the backup node will take the Internet connection.

BugfixFeature not included, enabled, used or useful on all systems Cluster failover due to clock drift

If there is a significant difference in the system time of the cluster systems, a failover occured when re-synchronizing the clock. The cluster service will be updated to fix this problem.
Attention!
On a master node, the cluster service will be stopped after the update as the new and the old versions are not compatible. Please update the backup system soon afterwards. Then start the "Cluster service" in menu "Monitoring > Services" and don't forget to set its autostart option.
If it is not possible to update the backup system soon, you might want to disable the "Cluster node" service on the backup node an re-enable it on the master instead.

BugfixFeature not included, enabled, used or useful on all systems Cluster routing configuration

When syncing the configuration, network routes on the master system were overwritten by those of the backup.
