API
When using comparison operators in query filters, you can use either abbreviations or symbols to represent comparison relationships.

For details, see REST API Reference (Core).
IPv6 support
ALM officially supports IPv6, capable of working and communicating with IPv6-enabled systems.
Ensure you connect to the ALM server using the server host name instead of the IPv6 address.
Incremental patching
A new patch installation approach, incremental patching, is available. This approach requires installing the GA release before deploying the patch and enables easy rollback to the GA release.
Incremental patching is supported for English installations only.
