Centralpoint Update 8.4.62


Date of Update: Monday, March 9, 2015  
Feature Summary
.NET Framework 4.5 Centralpoint will be updated to utilize the .NET Framework 4.5 this July with the release of version 8.5.0. It is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4 which delivers better performance, reliability, and security. Windows Server 2003 installations will not receive this update because they do not support the .NET Framework 4.5, but they will continue to work as they do now. Microsoft is also ending support for Windows Server 2003 in July so we recommend upgrading to Windows Server 2008 in advance. The .NET Framework 4.5.2 must be installed on your server manually before Centralpoint version 8.5.0 will install, but we do not recommend installing it yet. Because it is an in-place update that replaces the .NET Framework 4 some changes could occur with your sites before the update that utilizes the new framework is released. We will preparing the sites to prevent problems with that installation over the next few months, and will add a sync note when Centralpoint has been fully tested to support this installation. My Module developers will also be required to upgrade to Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 before July because Visual Studio 2010 does not support the .NET Framework 4.5. Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 support be released in the months following version 8.5.0.
