Parents

  • Is my understanding correct, that if we have no problems with the original v2.3, then we are already using a CA certificate with strong signing and we don't need to regenerate our CA certificate for future compatibility?

    Also, if we have no issues with the original v2.3 then there is no need to update to MR1?
