| **DeviceHub:**
- Resolved an issue where the `deviceName` value was incorrectly masking special characters to `_` (underscore) from the payloads published on `devicehub.plcstatus.>` and `system.events` topics. |
| **Applications:**
- Fixed issue where a running container could be stopped before the new image was fully downloaded when upgrading an app from Manufacturing Connect Edge. |
| **Integration**:
- Fixed issue where InfluxDB connector with empty remote topic for outbound subscriptions would publish to `measurement = deviceName.deviceID.tagName`. Now the connector will correctly publish to `measurement = deviceName.deviceID`. |
| **System:**
- Fixed issue where Docker bridge network interfaces displayed in **System** > **Network** > **Interfaces List** after upgrading from 3.16.11.
- Fixed issue where deploying or upgrading Manufacturing Connect Edge Marketplace applications from Manufacturing Connect failed when an **External** typed Docker network already existed.
- Fixed issue where events were not displayed in **System** > **Events** when backups failed to apply to one or more components.
- Fixed issue where permissions changed for sub-directories of `/ftp-data` after upgrading Manufacturing Connect Edge instances which prevented containers from launching.
- Fixed issue where upgrading from Manufacturing Connect Edge 3.16.11 to 4.0.x silently changed the active DNS resolver.
- Fixed issue where NATS proxy setting was disabled after upgrading from 3.16.x to 4.0.x. |
| **API:**
- Fixed the error response payload returned by the POST /access/accounts Access REST endpoint. |
