proALPHA announces the release with restrictions
Dear Partner,
We would like to inform you about the release with restrictions of the operating system versions Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.
Currently, the Microsoft Windows version 11 and the Microsoft Server version 2022 have not been released for our proALPHA versions 6.x to 9.3.
After extensive testing by our Quality Assurance (QA) team, we release the operating system versions Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 with restrictions.
The releases for OpenEdge 12.2 and 11.7 for Windows 11 and Server 2022 are available from PROGRESS.
Restrictions and effects of the release:
The currently integrated List & Label version 25 has not been released for Windows 11 by Combit (and is currently not supported on Windows 11).
The print of reports and exports work on Windows 11. Only the List & Label Report Designer has errors on Windows 11 in List & Label Version 25 (UI dialogs or button labels are not displayed correctly).
For this reason, all users except administrators or users designing forms and reports in List&Label can work without restrictions with proALPHA on Windows 11.
These user roles can use Windows 10 in parallel or a terminal server for the L&L report design.
An update to a new version of List & Label (currently LTS release 27) is planned for proALPHA version 9.4, since List & Label requires an update of the .NET framework (currently no backport to proALPHA versions < 9.4 possible).
The unrestricted release of Windows 11 and MS Server 2022 will therefore take place for proALPHA version 9.4.
Effects for all proALPHA versions under maintenance:
