Hello everyone,
The first version of Universal with support for Thinkwise Platform 2021.1 has just been released.
The version number is 2021.1.10. Subsequent versions of Universal will also adhere to this version numbering structure to indicate the Thinkwise Platform version compatibility. This matches our other runtime components such as Indicium and other GUIs.
Requirements
Universal 2021.1 requires an Indicium Universal with at least version 2021.1 to be installed.
Hotfix for earlier platform versions
Universal 2021.1 is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the Thinkwise Platform as per our lifecycle policy.
However, to be able to use Universal 2021.1 with Thinkwise Platform version 2020.2 or earlier, a hotfix that has been released today must be executed in those environments. This hotfix affects both the Software Factory and the Intelligent Application Manager.
The hotfix can be recognised as 20201224 - Universal look-up refactor.
Note that this hotfix for Thinkwise Platform version 2020.2 and earlier to support Universal 2021.1 does not allow for compatibility with older versions of Universal.
Once the hotfix is in place to support Universal 2021.1, Universal version 1.8 and earlier cannot be used anymore.
Indicium version 2021.1 is also required to run on earlier versions of the Thinkwise Platform. This version is also backwards compatible as per our lifecycle policy.
More info
Feature-wise, this version is identical in features to the earlier released 1.8 version. More info here.

Happy holidays!
