| Doc Text: |
* Previously, if the Red Hat Network applet was used to re-register the client to a different Red Hat Satellite Server, the applet would continue to show updates that had been available on the previous server, even if they were not available on the current server. The /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet would not change to reflect the details of the new server. The version of the applet provided with this advisory associates a cache of updates with a server url, and therefore ensure that the updates displayed to the user are actually available. This version can also detect when its configuration file has changed. If such a change is detected, the applet will automatically reload the configuration variables and create new server connections.
