description: >-
  StorONE publishes release notes per S1 release inside the public documentation repository, one
  BookStack book per minor line. Each release page is structured — New Features and Improvements
  (broken out by System, Auto-tiering, OmniUI, GUI, Replication, Snapshots, Logging), Fixed Issues,
  and Behavior Changes — which makes it a genuine changelog rather than a marketing what's-new.
  What it is not is dated: the pages carry BookStack revision timestamps, not release dates, so a
  reader cannot tell when 3.8.0 shipped from the changelog itself.
scheme: product release (major.minor.patch)
current_version: 3.8.0
dated: false
dated_note: >-
  No release dates are published on any release-notes page. The only time signal is BookStack's own
  "Updated N months ago" metadata on the page revision — the 3.8.0 page showed "Updated 8 months
  ago" when read on 2026-08-29.

    highlights:
      system:
        - Embedded management service — no external relay machine required.
        - >-
          Multi-system management (MSM), a lightweight service installed on a Windows machine or VM
          to manage multiple systems; required as a quorum witness when replicating between systems
          with embedded management services.
        - Drives can be unapproved from a pool so they can be reused in another pool.
        - Drive revival.
        - Improved drive LED support.
        - Volume recycle bin with configurable retention.
        - Secure erase for drives with multiple methods (Shred, Sanitize, NVMe formats).
        - New licensing mechanism with GUI and CLI support.
        - Self-service version upgrades.
        - SSD pool support for file system metadata.
        - Custom SMTP settings.
        - Floating IP pairing without the "Dummy" designation.
      auto_tiering:
        - System idleness based on specific drive pool utilization.
        - HA-aware lower tier locks for evacuation.
      omniui_gui_cli_rest_api:
        - Multi-admin approval for critical changes, configured with action policies.
        - Enhanced MFA with automatic reconnection.
        - Improved configuration history with user tracking.
      gui:
        - Context-specific action buttons per element (Edit, Delete, Secure Erase).
      replication:
        - Configurable witness settings via CLI and GUI.
        - Witness log viewing.
      snapshots:
        - Distributed VSS snapshot support for NFS datastores.
        - Improved snapshot deletion scheduler.
      logging:
        - Audit log for user operations and configuration changes.
        - System console log access from the GUI and CLI.
    fixed:
      - Host mapping deletion via the web UI.
      - Distributed VSS snapshot consistency.
    behavior_changes:
      - Evacuation messages removed from the console log.

finding_reference_lag:
  observation: >-
    The 3.8.0 release notes describe capabilities the published REST API reference does not carry —
    drive unapprove and revive, secure erase, licensing (license upload / license view), volume
    recycle bin, and multi-admin approval action policies. The REST API book's pages were last
    revised roughly two years before this read, while 3.8.0 is roughly eight months old.
  consequence: >-
    An integrator reading docs.onestor.com/books/rest-api is reading a pre-3.8 surface. The
    operation inventory captured elsewhere in this repo is therefore a floor, not a ceiling — the
    real 3.8.0 API is larger than the 164 operations documented.
