Limitation

1. The update progress bar on a Synology High Availability cluster might not display the actual progress percentage. This won't affect the update progress.

Compared to the 7.1 beta version, changes are presented in bold, all the rest are already implemented.

The main difference and warning that needs to be taken into consideration is the usage of Synology Account as mandatory when using Advanced Media Extensions 2.0.
