Exemptions defined in cooldown policies let specific packages skip the cooldown period and become available immediately, so a new release that fixes a vulnerability doesn’t have to wait.

Vulnerability records now show how likely each vulnerability is to be exploited, so you can order a backlog of High and Critical findings by what’s likely to be attacked, not just by severity…

The Cloudsmith CLI now sends anonymous reports of unexpected errors to Cloudsmith by default, so we can find and fix crashes without waiting for a support ticket. It also connects through Transport Layer Security (TLS) intercepting proxies without turning off certificate verification, and installs credential helpers where package-manager upgrades can't remove them.
