Hello everyone,

WAPT 1.6 is finally available in a stable version After 6 months of development, this is an incremental version compared to 1.5, bringing you over a hundred fixes to ensure greater fluidity, simplicity, and efficiency.

WAPT 1.6 improvements
  • Improved performance: a single WAPT server can serve more than 5k agents without the need for clustering
  • Partial inventory upload: the agent no longer uploads its inventory every time. Less load on the client side and less load on the server side + better stream compression
  • Improved agent responsiveness with better threading management and the replacement of zeromq with long polling
  • Improved handling of Windows encodings. You have Chinese characters in your registry? No problem!
  • Refactoring the Python environment for better isolation from system installations
  • WAPT's Python dependencies, including eventlet, python-socketio, and websocket-client, have been updated to fix borderline cases
What's new in WAPT 1.6
  • The installation procedure has been redesigned with the creation of a simplified wizard for installing and initially configuring the console and server
  • Fleet auditing functionality (Enterprise only)
  • Windows Update Management (Enterprise only, Tech-preview)
