# February

### Early Availability

- **Updatable Objects Support in Split Tunneling**

Split Tunneling rules can now reference **Updatable Objects**, which are dynamically maintained network objects that automatically update based on vendor-managed or predefined feeds. This enhancement eliminates manual IP address and FQDN maintenance and ensures that Split Tunneling policies remain accurate as vendor endpoints change.

**Minimum Agent Version:**Windows: 12.5

For more information, see [Updatable Objects](/v1/docs/updatable-objects).
- **Pre-Login Authentication for Windows**

Administrators can now enable a secure tunnel before OS login using second-device authentication. This enables seamless access to private organizational resources, such as Active Directory, when users work remotely or outside the corporate network.

**Minimum Agent Version:**Windows: 12.5

For more information, see [Pre-Login Tunnel Connection for Windows](/v1/docs/pre-login-tunnel-connection-for-windows)
