Today we release the Platform 0.8.1, a minor release to fix some issues that came up from the previous major (0.8.0) release. This release has only a few, but important, changes. By design it does not contain any new features. Please see below for requirements and details for upgrading.

UPGRADING: It is tricky to upgrade the OS and migrate the database. Please follow our [[upgrade tutorial => upgrade-0-8]].

* Fix a typo that kept common.ENV.json from being loaded
* Remove a clamav configuration option that was obsolete 
* Ensure soledad has access to x509 variables
* Disable puppet-agent daemon from running
* Reduce check-mk timeouts
