Introduction
Atheos Gateway, version 02.00.00 has been used successfully for almost 3 years now without any significant maintenance. The integration of High Security Modules (HSM) lead the development team to reengineer it heavily.
The version 03.00.00 is equivalent to the version 02.00.00 in regard to the Nexo functionalities.
The changes brought by the first release of version 3 are the basis for HSM integrations.
