A maintenance release contains fixes for issues affecting customer Vaults in production environments. Maintenance releases can occasionally include enhancements, for example, a time-sensitive regulatory requirement. This page covers maintenance releases deployed to General Release Vaults only. We communicate 24 hours prior to a maintenance release. There may be a short service disruption during deployment.

This list only covers fixes for issues that impact 23R3 General Release versions of Safety Vaults. The list of fixed issues is subject to change until the release occurs. When we identify issues to fix in a maintenance release, we attempt to get them into the earliest release possible. Sometimes, we target a specific release but are not able to deliver a fix early enough for full testing. In situations like this, we postpone the fix for a later release and strike out the description in this list.

We number maintenance releases for Safety by appending the number of the Safety-specific maintenance release to the General Release number. The most recent Vault General Release is 23R3.0, so our maintenance releases for this version are 23R3.0.2, 23R3.0.3, and so on.

Vault frequently delivers Platform maintenance releases. Safety deploys these Platform maintenance releases at a later date, along with any required fixes to Safety. For details on Platform fixes in these maintenance releases, see 23R3 Maintenance Releases.
