During the extended interruptions created by the COVID-19 shut down we slowed down our normal quarterly releases to try and assist our customers and avoid any interruptions during this time. We are starting the process of resuming our release schedule for 2020 and our first release is tentatively scheduled for the mid-to-end of July. We will confirm the update here once it is firmly scheduled along with a notice on our VIA status page (https://status.viaboards.com). August 15 at 8pm. This documentation provides information on all of the changes, new features, and improvements that are available in the 2020.1 Release.release and is subject to change and updates through August 8 when the release reaches GA.
