We have just released Device Scout 1.1.3, a simple upgrade that improves the accuracy and reliability of CrashPlan backup information reported by Device Scout. Be sure to deploy our latest CrashPlan extension attribute to your Macs in order to get all the benefits of this upgrade.

In addition, Device Scout 1.1.3 now recognizes OS X 10.8 as “Mountain Lion”. Those of you running early-access versions of Mountain Lion will now see that fact correctly reported in Device Scout.

We're calling it Device Scout.
