# Fleet 3.11.0 released with software inventory
|
||
|
||
Fleet 3.11.0 is now available and more powerful, with improved performance, support for software inventory, and enhancements to running common queries.
|
||
|
||
Let’s jump into the highlights:
|
||
|
||
- Improved performance
|
||
- Software inventory
|
||
- Running common queries
|
||
|
||
For the complete summary of changes and release binaries check out the [release notes](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/releases/tag/3.11.0) on GitHub.
|
||
|
||
## Improved performance
|
||
|
||
Fleet is utilized by organizations with up to hundreds of thousands of endpoints. As a result, we’re constantly looking for areas to improve performance. Changes introduced in Fleet 3.11.0 reduce the MySQL CPU usage by ~ 33%.
|
||
|
||
These performance improvements are the result of batching the updates of the last time a host has connected to the server. For more details on these changes, check out the [pull request](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/633) from our CTO, [Zach Wasserman](https://medium.com/u/b0291119b263?source=post_page-----25d5a1efe19c--------------------------------).
|
||
|
||
## Software inventory
|
||
|
||
Keeping tabs on what software is installed on your hosts can be the first step in managing vulnerable software. We’ve exposed a list of installed software on each host’s respective Host details page.

||

|
||
|
||
This feature is flagged off by default for now. Enable software inventory for your Fleet by setting the environment variable `FLEET_BETA_SOFTWARE_INVENTORY=1`. For additional information on feature flags in Fleet, see the [Feature flag section](https://fleetdm.com/docs/deploying/configuration#feature-flags) of the documentation.
|
||
|
||
To see the osquery queries that power software inventory, check out Fleet’s [Standard query library](https://fleetdm.com/queries). The “Get installed macOS software,” “Get installed Linux software,” “Get installed Windows software,” and “Get installed FreeBSD software” queries are utilized depending on a host’s operating system.
|
||
|
||
## Running common queries
|
||
|
||
When investigating a specific host, it’s important to be able to quickly gather the data you want. To support this, running common queries against a specific host just got more convenient. Fleet 3.11.0 introduces the ability to select a saved query direct from a host’s respective Host details page.
|
||
|
||
![Running common queries](../website/assets/images/articles/fleet-3.11.0-2-700x474@2x.jpg)
|
||
|
||
Select the “Query” button to filter through a complete list of your saved queries.
