This release adds official support to Broadcom NIC cards based on the bnxt_en driver. While sniffing appliances using such NICs were supported in standard "compatibility mode" with reduced performance, starting with this release sniffing appliances will be able to leverage hardware acceleration to achieve better throughputs.

Version 9.4.5
New Features
We are planning on changing the public IP addresses that are used by Lastline backend services to reflect our move away from an older datacenter provider to more scalable infrastructure.
These are the IP addresses assigned to lastline.com contacted by Lastline appliances (such as log.lastline.com, user.lastline.com, management.lastline.com, update.lastline.com, and anonvpn.lastline.com)
when accessing services like cloud APIs and image registries. This will affect both hosted and on-premise installations of all Lastline products.
It is required that these IP addresses are permitted by firewall rules to prevent service issues when these IP addresses are expected to go live by August 31st 2021.
PLTF-2402: Improved encryption of HTTPS traffic to the appliances (Manager, Analyst and Pinbox) by restricting the cipher suites supported by the web server to enforce stronger encryption in accordance with industry best practices.

distribution. In all future releases, Ubuntu Bionic will be required. To support this
distribution upgrade, 9.4 will support both Ubuntu Xenial and Ubuntu Bionic. Before upgrading
to any future version, appliances on Ubuntu Xenial must be upgraded to Ubuntu Bionic while running version 9.4.
The upgrade of the distribution will require a reboot and may take up to an hour to complete.
You can check the distribution in use by an appliance in the
Appliance Status view of the portal.

ADDED PRELIMINARY SUPPORT FOR IMAP OAUTH AUTHENTICATION IN MS OFFICE 365
The sensor now has the capability to support IMAP OAuth authentication when doing email analysis. The feature is meant to address the upcoming deprecation of password authentication in Microsoft Office 365. The implementation is tested exclusively with Microsoft Office 365, although it may support also other IMAP services. While UI support for enabling the feature is planned in future releases, contact the Lastline support to configure the feature at this stage.
