PMG v21.4 release now available

What? But it’s 2022 now!
Upgrade and release notes are on the PMG Support Site

Year-end releases sometimes take a little longer to wrap up. But PMG Platform v21.4 is ready for you now!

First up, there are a couple of important changes to note. Make sure you know whether they apply to your implementation.

• • Some settings have been forced to a specific value on this upgrade. Refer to the Updated System Settings in the Administration section for details.

        • UI – App Page wizard, Relay Agent config
