3.9.0 Upgrade Notes

SMB Versions in a File Reader/Writer We added support for SMB versions 2 and 3 when using a File Reader/Writer. With "smb" as the selected method, select the wrench icon to view the SMB settings. There you can select the minimum and maximum supported SMB versions. When upgrading Connect, existing channels will use "SMB v1" as the minimum version and "SMB v3.1.1" as the maximum version, in order to preserve functionality. However, SMB v1 is outdated and poses security risks, so we recommend updating your channels to use later versions of SMB. This may require also updating your SMB servers accordingly. DICOM Sender Storage Commitment In 3.9.0 we changed the functionality of the DICOM Sender option "Request Storage Commitment".

Now, in 3.9.0, if a DICOM Sender with th
