Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for appgate/sdpctl: Focused on upgrading reliability of the Upgrade Command by enhancing hostname validation and uniqueness checks. Removed overly strict hostname uniqueness check, added IP-address detection, and enforced non-IP hostname uniqueness to support multi-host environments. Resulting changes reduce upgrade failures and improve automation in multi-host deployments.
