Release date: March 13, 2024
Added: Support for 64-bit Control Center
Added: Ability to send a Deactivation command to Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints
Added: Adjusted languages available for deployment in the plugin. We now support English, German, Dutch, Italian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Turkish and Polish
Changed: Logging in to EMA via the License Management portion of the plugin will now automatically update the activation credentials used by licenses that have already been imported using License Management (NOTE: This is to fix an issue where changing the EMA credentials would force the Admin to go through an update the licenses manually within the integration)

Changed: Added a new column to the automatic deployment blacklist to help identify computers in the case where multiple clients/locations have similarly named computers
Changed: To provide support for the 64-bit Control Center, it was necessary to remove the Migration Assistant feature of the integration. This should have a low impact as this feature was originally designed to help transition from the old plugin that has been EOL for some time now.
