+# CycleCloud version 8.8.3
+
+The release 8.8.3 addresses several key issues including a failure in installing the CLI due to azcopy download errors.
+
+## Resolved Issues
+
+- Installing CycleCloud CLI would fail due to an error downloading azcopy
+- Nodes failed to converge in non-public clouds
+- When users' login expired or when users weren't signed-in, some CycleCloud GUI URLs didn't correctly redirect to the sign in page
+- The disabled legacy `reboot_node` command was removed from the CLI. The new `restart_node` command replaces it
