This is a release-numbered build of 4.3.122X. There are no additional changes from that version.

Open issues:
ID Subject Description
8730, 8881 SIVM Some system processes in the RTU act as a "system idle process" using CPU time at a low priority to monitor for communication and do other background processing. In some applications, this can lead to the System Information module reporting CPU utilization near 100%. This is not a new situation but is now visible in SIVM.
8744 SIVM The ST-GT-1210 displays an invalid RTU type in the System Information module.
8787 SIVM Certain Ethernet addresses are displayed as negative numbers in the System Information module.
