Release notes
Before performing any updates/upgrades
- Carefully read other release notes that may apply to your planned update/upgrade action.
Release information for earlier releases:
- See Section – Updates for general information about the available update processes.
- You may also check Techzone for available product updates and the List of known issues.
Functional limitation
Minor release updates:
- Updates from any predecessor minor release (X.Y) to the follow-up minor release (X.Y+1) are possible.
Major release updates:
- Changing from any predecessor release to a new major release requires an upgrade (new installation).
Additional information:
- Updates and bugfixes can only be installed if they are more recent than the currently installed version.
- Hotfixes can be uninstalled (X.Y-HF001 to X.Y).
- Note that in some cases, updates from lower release numbers to higher release numbers may be restricted to specific release versions – therefore, always check the release information of the target release, you want to update to.
Release lifecycles and support
Information about release lifecycles, such as end-of-support dates for specific releases, is found on Techzone: Techzone - Release lifecycle.
Functional limitation
Airlock Gateway 8.5 will introduce OpenSSL version 3.5. Since the current version 3.0.x will only be supported by the OpenSSL project until August 2026, the support lifecycle for Gateway 8.4 has been slightly shortened to align with this timeline.
Support for Airlock Gateway 8.4 will therefore end in August 2026.
