February 2022

Tracks get more interactive with February's release! Track replay lets you replay historical incidents on the map at the speed you choose. We've also made it easier to hover over a track and find individual track points and their details. Security minded? We've added new strong password options at the server level.

Check below for the full notes or read the February blog for an overview.
