2. Vulnerabilities Addressed:

• Arbitrary Code Execution: TD/OMS has various exit points like Actions, Exceptions, Compilation Types, Events, and Data Conversion, which could be exploited for executing arbitrary codes. These can now be safeguarded by restricting access to a select group via the OMSEXITADM profile.
   
• Malicious Code Insertion: A potential security threat is the wrongful or malicious code insertion into a program update. TD/OMS has procedural steps like Peer Review, Unit Testing, Functional Testing, and Quality Control to safeguard against this. TD/OMS ensures that tasks aren’t promoted without all necessary approvals and that only authorized individuals can access the production environment by restricting access to the definition of these procedures members of the group OMSSECADM.

We now have a KPI chart for branches. If a developer has more than five open branches or more than one closed branch, the chart appears on the warning section of the TD/OMS Analytics web page. It is advised to delete closed branches immediately because every branch contains temporary development and test libraries. Branch libraries should be cleaned up when the task is implemented or abandoned.

How to setup Octo is described here: https://youtu.be/UTyGrgLwc6w

It is possible to fully integrate TD/OMS into your own programs by using our CLI and REST API's. Everything you can imagine, from creating an application, creating tasks, connecting objects and running a full deployment can be controlled by our API's.

• We have augmented and updated our REST API which is documented on GitHub.
• OMQRTVLI Command Line API to retrieve the libraries from a subenvironment.
• Set the branch library list using the BRANCH API
• OMQCHGFI Task API was updated

Do you require additional control? Please file an enhancement request.

We have integrated instructional videos in our RDi views. These menus are dynamically created. When we add a new video, it will be available when the RDi is restarted. You can augment this menu with your own documentation links. Let us know when you want to try this.

We are pleased to announce the successful resolution of the longstanding performance issues associated with our Source File API. The existing API, which retrieved complete source code files in a single request, had been causing significant challenges, including performance bottlenecks, excessive memory usage, and inefficient utilization of network bandwidth, especially when dealing with large files.

We've resolved a user interface issue to enhance your experience. Previously, task solutions and task details were displayed together on a single page, which could become cluttered, especially when solutions were lengthy. Here's how we've made it more user-friendly:

1. Paging Functionality: We've introduced paging, allowing you to navigate through solutions with ease. Now, you can move through the solutions one page at a time, making it less overwhelming.
2. Context Menu: Each solution item now has a context menu. This menu offers additional options and makes it simpler for you to interact with solutions, such as connecting or disconnecting them.
3. Tab Organization: To improve overall readability and usability, we've separated task solutions and task details into tabs. You can effortlessly switch between viewing task details and associated solutions, making the interface cleaner and more intuitive.

We've added an About Octo page that will hold core info about the current Octo build instance, info such as current version.
