Yellowfin 8.0.11 further solidifies the reliability of Yellowfin 8, with some vital enhancements around infrastructure, more REST API support, and a more streamlined user interface.

Yellowfin 8.0.11.1 adds a mitigation for a potential security issue for Yellowfin deployments using Java 9 (see our Community announcement for full details). As a result, we updated Spring to version 5.3.18.
