Version 3.4.1 | Built for FireMon Security Manager, Policy Optimizer, and Policy Planner Not affiliated with FireMon, LLC | Community-developed tool | Provided "AS IS" without warranty ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHANGELOG ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ v3.4.1 (2026-04-23) • Policy Optimizer bulk assign: fixed intermittent 400 errors caused by FireMon's optimistic locking — on failure the extension now re-fetches fresh task details and retries rather than reusing stale task/packet-task IDs • Policy Optimizer bulk assign: fixed 415 Unsupported Media Type errors by sending correct Content-Type: text/plain from the first attempt (per API spec) v3.4.0 (2026-04-21) • Policy Optimizer extra columns: rule columns (Name, Sources, Destinations, Services, Comments) now group together immediately after the native Rule Number column • Fixed column alignment bug where Severity values appeared in the Services column and vice versa — all extra column types now use a consistent sort order so colgroup <col> elements and body <td> elements always stay in sync • Compliance columns (Control Failure, Severity) now populate immediately on page load; severity fetch is awaited before rule data loads so values are accurate on first render v3.3.0 • Policy Optimizer extra columns: added Sources, Destinations, Services columns from Security Manager rule data • Extra column selections now persist across sessions via browser storage • Extra columns are sortable using native FireMon sort icons • Rule Name column positions immediately after native Rule Number column • Rule documentation field discovery now happens automatically on first visit • Fixed rule doc field values displaying as PostgreSQL array literals (e.g. {"Block Facebook"} → Block Facebook) • Moved Load Rule Doc Fields to extension popup settings page
