We offer Quality Updates on a weekly base for all maintained release options. You will also find the latest changelog in our MAKERS CLUB.
New MAKERS CHOICE releases will be released every 8 weeks. Once a year, a MAKERS CHOICE release is also released as a Long-Term Support release.
For more information about our Release Cycle read here.
Quality Updates should be automatically installed upon publishing. If your instance is hosted in Simplifier Cloud or you followed our installation and upgrade guidelines, this is already active. If you have not the current Quality Update installed, our Support Team will ask you to update your instance in case of any new ticket.
Instances with the MAKERS CHOICE release option have to be upgraded as soon as possible after the release of the next MAKERS CHOICE release because support ends for all prior MAKERS CHOICE releases.
Instances with the Long-Term Support release option have a 3-month transition period starting with the publishing of the next LTS release.
For more information about our release cycle read here.
With each MAKERS CHOICE Release, we state all changed behaviors and migrations to be done in our Release Notes. For our Long-Term Support (LTS) Releases, we update and publish also with each MAKERS CHOICE release Pre-Release Notes providing all the information that has to be done with upgrading to the next Long-Term Support release. This allows all LTS customers to prepare for the next LTS way before it is published.
Important: You decide when your instances are upgraded. If your instances are hosted in the Simplifier Cloud, simply raise a service ticket in our support portal to trigger the upgrade.
