CHANGES 

**Important** Issue Identified That Affects All Versions of the GeoSystems Monitor

• At ArcGIS version 11.x the auto-populate feature for adding new containers may not work. This is an issue in all current and previous GeoSystems Monitor versions. We say “may” because it has worked for federated portals. We are actively working with Esri to resolve the issue; however, at this time there is nothing actionable for us to do to fix the issue. Should there be a resolution before the end of 2024, we will send out a notification. Any checks/points that cannot be added through the auto-populate feature will need to be added manually. 

GSM 4.3

• Upgraded compiled Python scripts (v3.11.6) for the checks/points
• Checks/points retired (list of retired checks/points)

GSM 4.2.1

• Python upgrade from v2.7.9 to v3.11.6 (64-bit)
