What's new with 8.4.4

Post by HalilHanBADEM » Fri 16 Jul 2021 11:55

In the past, I could see the fixed topic of the forum and update the version accordingly, but the version was published without any information. Is it really that hard to write a release note? If so, where can I get it?

Thank you so much. Did you write them yourself or did they come via email? I may have overlooked it because my license email is a different email.

In fact, I can no longer upgrade to newly released versions of Unidac. The last time I did it, the errors returned from the test team increased by 100%. I had no choice but to downgrade. After a certain amount of time, I will review the feedback and make a decision.

They say report the problem, but they reply after 15-20 days.

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply. You may find information about the latest version and release changes on the revision history page -- please visit the Download page and select Revision history.

We introduced many changes targeting performance in version 8.4.1, which resulted in some issues. These issues were fixed in 8.4.4 which is now as stable as 8.3.2.
Please let us know if you have any issues with 8.4.4.

Frankly, I'm scared right now. I'll wait a bit and monitor the feedback status on the forum. The last time I upgraded, I received a lot of notifications from customers. I downgraded again. I'm thinking of switching to 8.4.4 after a while.

Thanks for the information. @vampirekb @Devart
