While I am here to officially announce the availability of the new Stat release (6.0), it seems that I should first introduce myself as the new Product Manager for Stat. I’m pleased to be joining this highly qualified team with a long track record of delivering real value to our customers. This an exciting time at Quest Software (in our first full year as an independent company) and also an exciting time in the life of Stat. We have good things coming on both the short and long-term horizon. Stay tuned to the blogs on the community for more about this later. Now, onto the business at hand...
The Stat team is pleased to announce the release of Stat 6.0. I don’t get to take any credit for this release, but I can tell you that it is a major release with an enhanced web client and updated design. I can also tell you that it includes scripts to upgrade from 5.7.x or 5.8.x to make it easy for those customers on 5.7.x to move directly to the newest version!
