What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear What, if anything, this changes in what a person using a cloud session sees is not known.
What
Device attestation is a statement from a device vouching for its own state. When a cloud session reads back an event it stored earlier, it now checks that event's attestation against the session's policy. If the policy is unknown or the event does not state its attestation, the event is reported as unavailable. If the policy is enforced and not met, the event is treated as missing.
Cloud sessions also gained a way to keep an idle connection open, and renewal of the session's statement now goes through the session's connection to the server.
Why
This tightens which stored events a cloud session will trust.
