Well this ought to make tubbynet See Profile happy ;) ;)

Taking a look at the release notes :

Support for 16 cluster members for the ASA 5585-X
 
 
The ASA 5585-X now supports 16-unit clusters. 
 

Wow... 16 ASAs... doing, what exactly?

Support for clustering with the Cisco Nexus 9300
 
 
The ASA supports clustering when connected to the Cisco Nexus 9300.
 

Again, not my field of specialty, so wondering what kind of setup would use this.

OpenSSL upgrade
 
 
The version of OpenSSL on the ASA will be updated to version 1.0.1e.
 
NoteWe disabled the heartbeat option, so the ASA is not vulnerable to the Heartbleed Bug.
 

...hmm, with the brou-haha over Heartbleed, a) glad Cisco's being open and upfront about it,
but b) I can't help but suspect SOMEone's going to gripe "but you didn't upgrade to version X
which actually FIXES the issue?!"

That's something that's not quite clear in the literature is whether you explicitly shut down the heartbeat option,
it also mitigates the bug entirely or not.

Thanks for sharing, Nubiatech See Profile !

Currently only OS version 9.0.3, 8.4.7, and 8.2.5 Cisco considered as Suggested (with star label), which are the stable version. Feel free to hit the lab with this latest code to test the BGP and other new features assuming you have the proper ASA model to test with as noted here
