+2025-03-17 | 1.27.2 |  **Maintenance Updates:**
+
+  * Added an API action that removes cached file share data and metadata for files that have failed to upload from your gateway to Amazon S3. Your AWS account must be allowlisted to use this function. If your gateway has problems with files failing upload, AWS Support can unlock the function and provide guidance about its use.
+  * Added capability for new gateways to log the order of object rename upload operations. This helps prevent files from failing to upload to Amazon S3 after repeated or overlapping rename operations.
+  * Fixed an issue related to SMB unintentionally opening ports.
+  * Updated operating system and software elements to improve security and performance.
