- A new WUI page named GEO Statistics has been added under the Global Balancing menu.
- This page is divided into a number of sections as follows:

    - Last configuration:
      - The time the configuration was last changed.
  - FQDN Statistics:
    - Details of the FQDN domains configured including name, IP Address, number of requests per second being received and the total request count.
  - Queries:
    - Information on the Query type and the number of request received for that type.
  - DNS Request Information:
    - Information on the type, description and number of requests received.
- REST and PowerShell API commands have been created to display these statistics.

PD-12836	An issue where the defined netmask for an additional static route on any interface when added gets defaulted to /64 has been fixed.
PD-12609	LoadMaster VLM GSLB functionality has been fixed in Azure.
PD-12450	Log partition Disk Usage on the LoadMaster WUI under Statistics >> Real Time Statistics is now available when using the REST and PowerShell API commands.
PD-12357	Previously, the LM with Allow Multi-Interface Access set would not allow access to the WUI on any port other than the default port 443. Now, this has been resolved and the LM WUI can be accessed on any set port on any interface once Multi-Interface Access is set.
PD-12275	Previously, the LDAP response timeout could not be configured and was defaulted to 5 seconds. Now, the LDAP timeout can be configure within the range of 5 to 60 secs.
PD-11760	Previously, when an Alternate Gateway was set in a cloud environment networking issues occurred. Now, this option has been removed for the GEO LoadMaster for cloud environments to remove the risk of networking issues.

PD-12492	If an Azure GEO VLM is downgraded to the LTS firmware 2.2.35.x the UI displays in the top right hand corner that it is a Hyper-V GEO VLM. This does not affect the function of the VLM.
PD-12068	Issues exist with replication of GEO cluster configuration across nodes.
PD-11861	IPv6 is not supported by the current RADIUS implementation in the GEO LoadMaster for WUI Authorization.
PD-11024	The WUI is not accessible on NIC-1 from a non-local subnet.
PD-10586	If a GEO FQDN is configured with All Available as the Selection Criteria, IP addresses are returned even if the cluster is disabled.
