Systems with the Intel processors code-named “Kaby Lake” could, in some situations, dangerously misbehave. The microcode Update microcode-20170707 fixed this issue with this update for Intel Kaby Lake processors.

GUI: Network groups without permission after Upgrade from Version 5 to Version 7

Within this release permissions for users and permissions for networks are differentiated. So there are user groups and network groups from now on. A number of network groups are created by default. Due to an error with extra long network namen, it could happen that the creation failed,, resulting in restricted access to the system for special services. This is going to be fixed within this release.
