# September 2026

## Pharos Sentry Print Service Hotfix (Cloud Connector Only)

**Version:** 2607.1001.5428, **Release date:** 27 September 2026 **Applies to:** Pharos Cloud Connector

This release improves card-reader reliability and enhances badge authentication performance for environments using Regional Badge Processing.

### Enhanced Card Reader Stability & Auto-Recovery

Improved the reliability of attached card readers to ensure consistent authentication and Secure Release workflows.

- Resolved an issue that could prevent a card reader from initializing after an application refresh, printer restart, or network reconnection.
- Added automatic recovery for card reader communication interruptions. If a connection is lost, the Sentry Print Service now resets and reconnects the card reader in the background without requiring the printer to be rebooted or re-secured.

### Enhanced Regional Badge Authentication Performance

Improved the performance and reliability of badge-based authentication for organizations using Regional Badge Processing (RBP).

- Corrected an issue that could cause badge authentication requests to bypass the appropriate regional processing infrastructure.
- Badge authentication requests are now consistently routed through the designated regional service, reducing latency and improving swipe-to-login response times for end users.
