From the release notes:

**Gateway Network**

Gateway Network

Fixed

"Fixed an issue where gateway network connections were frequently disconnecting for no reason"

Apparently, there was a reason if they fixed it..... 🙂

Just proof we're still writing release notes by hand 😃

A somewhat better way to write the release note might have been “gateway network connections were frequently disconnecting for no **external** reason” aka something like a network blip (disclaimer: I wrote this particular release note). But we get admonished if we add too much detail to release notes, and this situation was already complex and hard to explain.
