This section describes improvements and fixes to the installer.

Compatibility and Stability Improvements

Applied the following changes to the SendSuite Live Installation and Updates utility:

• Improved download error handling.
• Enhanced compatibility. The utility can now install certain earlier versions, e.g. 6.9.x.

Improved multi-server installation experience. The “Enable download caching” setting has been revised and renamed to Allow relaxed download caching. If selected (default), this allows the contents of the "Patches" folder to be copied between servers. If a copied patch file doesn’t have the same name and the same size as the one found in the “Patches” folder, then a download is triggered.
