- Fixed a problem where Windows 2008 could blue screen if Mac clients saved files to an ExtremeZ-IP volume. The problem would occur when the client application used the AFP ExchangeFiles command. This command is used by a number of applications, including Microsoft Word. ExtremeZ-IP works around the problem by opening folders by full path rather than ID during ExchangeFile processing, which incurs a minor performance hit. Microsoft is aware of the issue and will be issuing a fix at an unspecified date.
- Fixed a problem where files could not be opened using their Windows 8.3 filename. While ExtremeZ-IP does not communicate these 8.3 filenames to Mac clients, workflows such as Prinergy that involve Windows and Mac components can result in Mac clients making requests for files and folders by these names. Support for 8.3 names can be enabled via the 'ServerAllows8Dot3Names' registry value. See the Online Help for more details.
- Fixed a problem where files containing extended attributes could fail to be duplicated using the 'ditto' command. As of 10.5.6, the ditto command fails in the case due to an error on the client side. Enabling the 'ServerAllowsLargeEABuffers' setting allows ExtremeZ-IP to work around this bug. See the Online Help for more details.
- Fixed a problem where some files, including GarageBand projects, could fail to sync when using Portable Home Directories.

- Fixed a problem where a folder could incorrectly be assigned a blank ACL after a move if ACLs and 'reset permissions on move' were both enabled for the volume.
- Fixed a problem where files whose names contain a '#' followed by a number (e.g. #231500.txt) could fail to display in the Finder.
