Security
We've released a lighter weight (~50% reduction in image size) and more secure version of the transfer agent container image. If you're running agents that were installed on or before June 17th, 2024, we highly recommend that you delete those agents and install new agents into your agent pool. Any existing transfers using that pool will resume once the new agents are installed.
