Updates and maintenance packages
No new major version of Vertex DS will be released. Support and maintenance for Vertex DS will continue normally for many years to come. Maintenance updates will be released when necessary, as before.
We release a maintenance update package a few times a year. It includes fixes for identified software bugs and small software improvements. The latest maintenance update contains all fixes and improvements previously released for that major version.
