Feature enhancements
Capacity Units
Introduced a Capacity Units model that provides a unified way to measure usage across task runs, processed files, and Progress-Hosted data transfers. Existing entitlement models remain supported for customers that have not migrated to Capacity Units.
For more information, see Plan and Usage.
SFTP Endpoint Support for EZ Customers
SFTP endpoints are now included in the EZ tier for both existing and new customers, without requiring additional licensing. EZ customers can create, manage, and use SFTP endpoints in their tasks. The Plan and Usage page has been updated to reflect the new entitlement.
Convert EOL step
There is now a Convert EOL processing step that converts CRLF line endings to LF or LF line endings to CRLF. The step supports file filtering, large files through memory-efficient processing, and compatible MOVEit Automation script imports.
SFTP Host Public Key
You can now retrieve an SFTP server's host public key directly from the endpoint configuration. The UI displays MD5 and SHA-256 fingerprints, and host key information is included in connection logging and mismatch errors.
For more information, see SFTP endpoint..
File activity filter
In the File Activity report, users can now filter results by one or more file operations. Activity filtering is also supported through the File Activity public API.
Linux Agent installation security improvements
Linux Agent installation now validates the ownership and permissions of the staging directory, installation script, and Agent binary. An explicit option is available to bypass these checks when installation from a non-root-controlled staging directory is required.
Name character limit increase
The maximum name length is now 200 characters for tasks, endpoints, agents, agent pools, schedules, authentication methods, and tags. UI, backend validation, and import processing now consistently support the increased limit.
Improve retry handling for temporary SharePoint and OneDrive failures
Improved detection and retry handling for temporary SharePoint and OneDrive connectivity failures. This helps tasks recover from transient conditions such as temporary DNS or Microsoft Graph connectivity issues.
