Here is the February list of New & Updated Gen Knowledge Base Articles (February 1 - 28, 2025, US EST).
PLEASE NOTE:
The full list of KB articles can be found on the Gen Product page: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdetails?productName=Gen
Scroll down to "Knowledge Base Articles" and use "Browse All". Change the default "Sort By Relevance" to "Sort By Created Date". Also at the bottom of the page, you can increase the default value of 10 for "Results per page".
Another thing to note is there is now a "facet" name "Gen" which covers all 4 Gen product names: Gen, Gen - Host Encyclopedia, Gen - Run Time Distributed, Gen - Workstation Toolset.
When the above article search results are initially displayed the Product is filtered on the facet Gen but only with the product name Gen i.e.
Use X on the first "Gen" (facet name) to clear the Product filter and then from left-hand Product list select Gen (facet name):
That results in the following new Product filter which shows all articles that contain any of the 4 Gen product names:
