The Release Phases in Detail
- The Active BRIDGE Release Phase
In its active phase, the BRIDGE release will be refined. Via regular updates, you will receive improvements and bug fixes. We guarantee that all deployed xUML services will work without the need to modify or recompile the services. If a customer has a critical issue, we will asap deliver a patch.
We will release approximately 2-4 minor versions a year. The active phase of a BRIDGE release will last about 4 years. - The Maintenance BRIDGE Release Phase
In maintenance phase, you will continue to get bug fixes. New features and improvements will be implemented to the latest BRIDGE version, however.
The maintenance phase of a BRIDGE release will last about 3 years.
Supported Operating Systems
If operating systems are not supported by their providers anymore and come to their end of life, we will also cease to support them. (BRIDGE 7 related information is highlighted in blue.)BRIDGE Windows Version Linux Version 7 6
