## What’s New In This Release: 2.08.01 Revision 1
### Enhancements
#### VIPA and ADK
This release integrates VIPA 6.9.1.17-6 and ADK 4.8.42 into EVPAY 2.08.01. It also includes the underlying platform improvements.
In any case, change the EVPAY version to 2.08.01.
#### Platform Enhancements
Verifone has made continuous security enhancements across the platform, spanning application and package integrity, cryptography and key protection, authentication and access controls, deprecation of legacy components, and ongoing platform hardening. Each release builds incrementally on the last, making the current version the most secure and fully enhanced release available today. Verifone strongly recommends that all partners and customers running a supported device upgrade to this version, regardless of which version they are currently on.
Staying current is the most direct way to bring deployed devices up to the platform's latest security baseline as threats continue to evolve. Here are the [Platform Release Notes.](https://docs.verifone.com/petroleum-docs/petro-and-c-store/pin-pad-implementation-guides-and-release-notes/release-notes/platform-release-notes)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://commanderhelp.verifone.com/customer-documentation/petro-and-c-store/pin-pads/release-notes/evpay-release-notes/evpay-2.08.01-r01.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
