After activating the changes, users would occasionally observe crashes of special agents or active checks reporting: "Password 'MyID' not found in / omd/sites/storage/var/check_mk/core/helper_config/latest/stored_passwords". This issue occurred because the password store copy was written to the new configuration area after the latest symlink was created. Since this release the latest symlink is now created as the final step, which prevents the problem.
