Applications previously identified as google-talk, google-talk-gadget,gtalk-p2p,gtalk-voice,gmail-chat, gmail-video-chat will now be identified as one of the three applications under the google hangouts container- google-hangouts-base, google-hangouts-audio-video and google-hangouts-chat. The hangouts sub-applications would be identified as google-hangouts-base when Decryption is not enabled.With the new content release, security policies, specifically with rules to allow any of the previous google instant messaging services, must be updated with the appropriate hangouts application/s to ensure that they are not being blocked.Any existing application using the older Google services APIs would not be identified correctly unless updated with the latest hangouts APIs.
