This is just a headsup that the first 8.5 (8.5.103.0) verion has been released:
Release notes: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn85.html
Now finally with support for the new 3504 WLC!
For some those new (by me highlighted) features might be important:
- Cisco Spectrum Expert—Remote Sensor on Cisco Aironet Wave 2 APs
- WLC 3504 support
- Support for Client-Aware Flexible Radio Assignment in Cisco Aironet 2800 and 3800 Series APs
- IPv6 Support in AP Plug-n-Play (seriously about time, how can a new network product be released today, without full IPv6 support....!)
- IPv6 Support for CNAME
- VLAN-Based Central Switching Support for FlexConnect APs
Sounds like some nice features, one or two even I might want to use.
As usual, it's the first version of a new major release, so it will be probably full of bugs, be carefull of using it in a production network!
