Below is the summary of the CDT improvements.

CDT Version	CDT Release Date	What's New
2.1	22 April 2025	Added support for the R82.10 Security Gateways. Improved error handling and reporting. Fixed various issues.
2.0	03 June 2024	Resolved a limitation to allow the CDT management commands when a non-default port is used. Fixed an issue with the Basic Mode in CDT v1.9.8.
1.9.8	31 October 2023	Support for a cluster installed in a Public Cloud (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform). New CLI parameter to run several different CDT sessions at the same time: "`–session=<Name of Management Session without Spaces>`" in the Expert mode syntax "`$CDTDIR/CentralDeploymentTool`" Advanced Mode RMA Mode CLI Syntax Quick Reference in the Expert mode "`session <Name of Management Session without Spaces>`" in the Gaia Clish syntax "`set cdt candidates`" and "`start cdt`" CDT in Gaia Clish Note - Without this CLI parameter: On a Security Management Server, you can run only one CDT session at a time. On a Multi-Domain Security Management Server, you can run different CDT sessions on different Domain Management Servers (only one CDT session at a time in each Domain Management Server).
1.9.7	13 June 2023	Improved cluster failover during an upgrade. CDT now installs Threat Prevention policy at the end of a package installation.

New CLI parameter "`-filter=<Filter File>`" in the RMA backup syntax "`$CDTDIR/CentralDeploymentTool -rma -generate`" (RMA Mode). Before the upgrade, CDT transfers policy files to the Security Gateways and Cluster Members. General code improvements and fixes.
