    Here is what is addressed in Service Pack 1:
     
    Stress Analysis
    • Face selection for FEA loads and constraints unsupported prior to this enhancement.
    Security
    • This Service Pack 1 addresses Heartbleed vulnerability - a security bug in the open-source OpenSSL cryptography library. Heartbleed is registered in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures system as CVE-2014-0160. For more information, please visit the CVE dictionary at http://cve.mitre.org.
