# Salt 2017.7.7 Release Notes

Version 2017.7.7 is a bugfix release for 2017.7.0.

The `2017.7.7` release contains only a small number of fixes, which are detailed below.

This release fixes two critical issues.

The first is Issue #48038, which is a critical bug that occurs in a multi-syndic setup where the same job is run multiple times on a minion.

The second issue is #48130. This bug appears in certain setups where the Master reports a Minion time-out, even though the job is still running on the Minion.

Both of these issues have been fixed with this release.
