Changes: This release adds support for the new product RED (Remote Ethernet
Device), which acts as a long Ethernet cable to a branch office,
requiring no configuration or management. The ability to totally remove
(de-proxy) sites from the HTTPS filter using new functionality for
exceptions has been added, and exceptions for the Web can be made by
category. There’s now support for hosting a Proxy PAC file, the ability
to remove some HTTP events completely from logging and reporting, and an
Uplink monitor/action feature and wildcard SMTP routing support. This
version includes also some bugfixes.
