# Release Notes - v6.0.0

We are excited to introduce **version 6.0.0**, a major leap forward for our platform. This release is&#x20;packed with so many upgrades that our AI has started asking for a coffee break — apparently, being&#x20;this smart is “exhausting.” With a smoother, more powerful, and more delightful experience&#x20;throughout the platform, this version marks the start of a new chapter in our evolution

### New AI Services Inventory

### AI Supported Query Wizard

With this enhancement, the Query Wizard in the product interface is now AI-supported for Device&#x20;Inventories, enabling users to create queries in their own natural language.

#### Natural Language Support &#xD;

Users can type queries in the language they commonly use, and the system will automatically&#x20;generate the corresponding structured query.

#### Editable Queries &#xD;

Once a query is generated, users can further refine or finalize it manually before execution.\
 

#### Initial Scope &#xD;

The feature is first introduced in the Device Inventory page and will be expanded to other inventory&#x20;pages in future iterations

### Upgraded Report Framework

With the newly developed report template framework, our system can now operate seamlessly with&#x20;the existing reporting structure while also supporting the generation of entirely new templates.

#### OctoXLabs: &#xD;

The current report-generation mechanism remains fully supported under this option. In addition to&#x20;the previous framework, the following capabilities have been introduced:

* **XLSX Format** – Multi Query Support: Users can now select multiple queries, each of which will  &#x20;be written to a separate Excel sheet, enabling the creation of multi-sheet reports.
* **PDF Format** – Multi Dashboard and Multi Query Support: PDF reports can now be generated  &#x20;using both multiple dashboards and multiple queries.

#### Device By Adapter: &#xD;

This template allows users to export devices listed in the Device Inventory along with the adapter&#x20;details installed on those devices.

* Users may select single or multiple Saved Queries stored in the Device Inventory to generate the  &#x20;corresponding reports.
* Note: The **CSV format does not support Multi Query** and this limitation should be taken into  &#x20;consideration.

#### Vulnerability By Device: &#xD;

This template enables exporting vulnerabilities discovered on a per-device basis.

* Users may select single or multiple Saved Queries stored in the Device Inventory to generate the  &#x20;corresponding reports.
* Note: The CSV format does not support Multi Query and this limitation should be taken into  \
  consideration.

#### Software By Device: &#xD;

This template allows exporting information about devices on which the selected software items&#x20;(from the Software Inventory) are installed.

* Users may select single or multiple Saved Queries stored in the Device Inventory to generate the  &#x20;corresponding reports.
* Only the **XLSX format** is supported for this template

These enhancements can also be utilized directly from the respective inventory pages:

* **Device By Adapter:** Can also be generated from the Device Inventory page.
* **Vulnerability By Device:** Can also be generated from the Device Inventory page.
* **Software By Device:** Can also be generated from the Software Inventory page.

### Upgraded Software Inventory
