We are excited to release the hosted and on-premise editions of 2.5.0 (together with 2.4.1).

Security and robustness is the prime directive of Mender in doing over-the-air software updates, and we work hard to make sure that directive never goes out of our sight. Mender 2.5.0 is a further testament to that directive and comes with these brand new features focused on expanding Mender’s capabilities in security.
