[EDIT: THE NEW FEATURES WERE RELEASED AT 1PM EASTERN] The new .PKG, .DEB, & .RPM installers for MacOS/Linux announced for 5/15/24 are not available - what is the status (urgent)?

UPDATE: AS OF 1:00 PM EASTERN, THE NEW TAB IN "AGENT MANAGEMENT, THAT CONTAINS THE NEW INSTALLERS, WAS MADE AVAILABLE - PLEASE SEE MY REPLY TO COMMENTOR BELOW, WHERE I ADD SCREENSHOTS OF THE NEW FEATURES

Are we still getting the PKG and other installers for MacOS and Linux - this was supposed to be available Today?

I was counting on this happening, but am now in a tough position due to this not being the case.

CHANGES_TO_RAPID7_r7_ISNTALLER

This is what had been announced for being effective as of today:

The agent Installer download experience will be moving to a new tab in Agent Management on May 15, 2024. No action is required until this date.

To provide you with a better way to deploy your agents, we will be substituting the current .sh Linux and Mac installers with new .rpm, .deb, and .pkg installers

If you are using the current .sh installer, don’t worry! Your agents will continue to update as usual and you will have until November 15 to switch deployment with the newer versions

As stated, this announcement has failed to materialize. And the page that showed it was planned has been taken down: https://docs.rapid7.com/insight-agent/insight-agent-version-history/

So has this plan been completely scrubed, I desperately need to know this for plans made around the announcement.

This is screen where, previously, you could click and see the details of the planned “New Tab” that would contain the PKG, etc, installers for MacOS and Linux

Now that takes you to this - so I am wondering, should I not be counting on having a PKG installer available to for our MacOS devices?

It will go live at 1pm EST, so it should drop just now in the next few minutes

It literally just came online for me. Thank you.

I wish I had known it was planned for 1pm, that would ahve caused me less concern lol. But at least it was made available.

**There is now a third tab on my Agent Management page named **“Agent Installer”****:

AgentInstaller

And there are the promised additional installation files on that page (again these were only made available 6 mintues ago, so I had no idea these were coming):
