Summary

Added release notes for version 1.0.1363.0 including Linux installer support, multi-vCenter configuration with deduplication, SSH key authentication, private IP collection, export customization, and reliability improvements. Modified previous release note to broaden server import support.

Security assessment

Added SSH private key authentication (RSA/ECDSA/Ed25519) as a secure alternative to password-based authentication, which qualifies as a security feature documentation update. No evidence of vulnerability fixes or incident response.
