Release 2022.1 is now available; it is a major release that contains many new features, bug fixes, and refinements. This is also our next Long Term Support (LTS) release. Version 2022.1 replaces 2021.1 as our LTS release, meaning 2021.1 is no longer supported. An LTS release is a Major Release that PCR will support for at least 12 months. Release 2022.1 will be supported for 24 months. All other releases are supported for two release cycles. LTS Releases will be patched (as a hotfix) for any Critical or High Impact bugs applied after a release. These include (but are not limited to): service-impacting issues, billing issues, or charge-related bugs. These issues have no workaround, or the workaround is cumbersome. Once the next LTS is released, PCR will work with customers to move them to the next LTS release.

NOTE: PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.1 are REQUIRED for this upgrade. PHP 8.1 Is required starting with hotfix 2022.1.5 or later.

We will begin scheduling 2022.1 updates on customer Test systems starting, on June 17th, 2022.
