*NOTE: This release also has a Change in Support for Controller Redundancy:

Support for controller redundancy has been restricted to SNAP PAC S-series controllers running firmware
version R10.4e or lower. Beginning with this release, you will no longer be able to create strategies that contain
controller redundancy. You can continue to maintain existing strategies that have controller redundancy;
however, those controllers must use firmware version R10.4e or lower.
