Why not just wait a day for 11.0.6 and incorporate this catalog release into it?

Hello @jbruns2017

The Catalog and BFI Server operate on independent release cycles. While the Catalog is updated twice monthly, the Server release uses the version available when its preparation phase begins. Integrating a new catalog within 48 hours of a release is not feasible, as our protocol requires extensive validation and quality checks to ensure system stability.

Thanks,

Yoga
