Helix 6.1.7 Release Notes

Helix 6.1.7 is a targeted release, designed to address a few key issues reported in 6.1.6. Consequently, the list of changes in Helix 6.1.7 is short. Click each section title to show or hide that portion of the Release Notes.

Linked bullet points take you to to technotes describing the change in greater detail. When an R-number is shown at the end of a line, it corresponds to a bug report that can be looked up in techdb.

It was also brought to our attention that the more detailed notes regarding the improvements in Helix 6.1.6 were never made available to the public. For this, we apologize. You can see those notes here.
