New Features:
- Zoom Room certification for improved compatibility.
- VBT's can be added to Bose Work Management (BWM) through known IP.

- Microsoft Teams Telemetry is now supported.
- BWM device list can be exported to .xls.
Enhancements:
- Implemented room compensation processing for reverberant rooms.
- BWM shows VB1 USB connection status.
- BWM displays USB call status (HID supported clients).
- BWM shows USB Audio streams and mute status for each.
- BWM allows mDNS discovery to be disabled.
- Beyond that, there are improvements to default image settings that will overwrite previous defaults without affecting user-modified settings.
Fixed Bugs:
- Resolved issue where VB1 does not connect to hidden networks.
- Removed deprecated protocols: SSLv1.0, SSLv2.0, SSLv3.0, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2 on both wireless and wired interfaces.
- Eliminated vulnerabilities from RC4/Arcfour cipher and Sweet32 attacks on both wireless and wired interfaces.
- Ensured BWM retains sort order.
Open Issues:
- VBl's may take longer to be discovered in BWM after initial start-up.
- Online VBl's do not populate in BWM after being added manually. (Workaround: close and restart BWM).
- People counting only works when autoframing is enabled and camera stream is active.
- Person detection also only works under the same conditions.
- If a mobile device paired with VB1 ignores an incoming call, the VB1 audio level will set to 50%.
- iOS users may struggle to connect via the Bose Work mobile app and Bluetooth simultaneously. (Workaround: disconnect mobile from VB1 and reconnect through the app).
- Exclusion zones in Dynamic mode are still active in Static mode but not visible. (Workaround: disable all exclusion zones in Dynamic mode if using Static beams).
- The visual display of beams in BWC may sync issues, especially on power-up.
- Scheduled firmware updates in BWM do not work if NTP service isn't set up on VB1's. (Workaround: install updates manually).
- VB1 inadvertently comes out of standby if the WiFi network is lost/returns. (Workaround: disable Low Power Mode (LPM)).
- On some older Dell laptops, the USB-C port may cause flickering with DisplayLink. Use a USB-A port as a workaround.
