Single-stream agent releases 
Starting with Guardium Data Protection 12.2.1, most of the Linux-UNIX and Windows agents for Guardium Data Protection versions 12.0 and later are now released in a "single stream". Previously, each Guardium 12.x release (12.0, 12.1, and 12.2) had its own separate agent installers and patch packages. With the move to single-stream packaging, the agent binaries are unified into one continuous release line, so the same installation and upgrade package applies across multiple Guardium 12.x versions. This simplifies maintenance, reduces version divergence, and ensures consistent feature and fix availability across all supported 12.x environments. 

File names starting with 12.x are now applicable to all current Guardium 12.x versions (12.0, 12.1, and 12.2), and future releases within the Guardium 12.x family. The single-stream packaging currently applies to the following agents: 

• Guardium Configuration Auditing System (CAS)
• Guardium File Activity Monitor (FAM) for Windows
• Guardium Installation Manager (GIM)
• Guardium Software TAP (S-TAP)

With this change, customers no longer need to locate version-specific agent packages for each 12.x release. Installing the latest 12.x agent package will be supported across all 12.x collector and aggregator versions that meet the documented compatibility requirements.  

Note: The single-stream packaging does not currently apply to External S-TAP agents.
