Eggplant Manager and Eggplant Automation Cloud Release Notes

The notes below provide descriptions of the new features and changes introduced with each release of Eggplant Manager and Eggplant Automation Cloud. You are strongly encouraged to read about the relevant changes whenever you upgrade from an earlier version. Potential compatibility issues are highlighted in RED.

You can get the latest versions of Eggplant Manager and Eggplant Automation Cloud from the Eggplant downloads page.

Note: Since the release of Eggplant Manager 5.1, the release notes for Eggplant Manager are combined with Eggplant Automation Cloud because the products release together and install together.

7.1.7 (27 November 2024)

Fixes
