Workbench Release Notes
IMPORTANT! for clients hosting Workbench on-premise and using Upvise
A Workbench upgrade is required this month to ensure the implementation of the latest security patches included in the Upvise DLL upgrade to version 2.1.
The new DLL version is incorporated in the Workbench general release version 4.6.1 and any later versions.
Please note that older versions of the DLL will no longer be supported by Upvise starting 1st March 2023. To minimize any potential disruption to your Upvise integration, it is imperative that you upgrade your Workbench to version 4.6.1 or later, as soon as this is practical for you.
It is expected that clients will regularly update their systems to receive these updates and maintain the highest level of security.
