Hello dear community,

I noticed that with version 3.1.4 of Splunk DB Connect prerequisit Splunk version was raised from 6.4.0 to 6.6.0.
In 3.1.3 Splunk version 6.4.0 was still supported.

see https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.3/DeployDBX/Checklist
and https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/DeployDBX/Checklist

We are running on Splunk 6.4.1. and I am wondering why the support of 6.4.0 was dropped.
Was there a new feature in DB Connect, that made this change necessary?
Or was there a bug that occurs combined with 6.4.0?!

I could not find any hints in the release notes:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/ReleaseNotes/Releasenotes
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.2.0/ReleaseNotes/Releasenotes

We tested DB Connect 3.2.0 today and so far it went well...
But of course I would consider using an earlier version of DB Connect, if there is a good reason for it.

Any clarification we appreciate very much!
