• The current documentation for SoftLayer_Billing_Item::cancelItem (https://softlayer.github.io/reference/services/SoftLayer_Billing_Item/cancelItem/) describes that by default the function will cancel the item immediately, while actually cancelImmediately parameter is set to false by default.

• Once a subnet is authorized access to a storage volume, IP addresses included in that subnet will not need to be authorized again.

• Evault Password enhancements.
• Enables ordering dedicated host instances with GPUs.
• When modifying the size or performance of a File or Block storage hosted on fast hardware, the new IOPS/GB ratio must be greater than or equal to 0.301. Similarly, when modifying storage hosted on lower performance hardware the new IOPS/GB ratio must be less than 0.301. The previous boundary was 0.300 which could not be satisfied for resizes on clusters that only have fast hardware.
