+An edge case regression was introduced into this version that may cause a constant build-up of hinted handoff if writes are rejected due to malformed requests. We're reverting back to InfluxDB Enterprise 1.9.6 as the official stable version. If you experience write errors and hinted hand-off growth, we recommend reverting back to 1.9.6 or upgrading to 1.9.8 when released.
