[DCRM-L] Coming Soon: Connexion Client 3.0

[Weitz,Jay]

OCLC is pleased to announce that a new release of the Windows-based Connexion client is coming soon.

Connexion client 3.0 will include the following changes:

  *   Conforms to current security and technology standards – no need for Administrator privileges to install
  *   Provides updated online documentation
  *   Removes obsolete functionality – GLIMIR options, Institution Records, and more
  *   Converts macros automatically to 64-bit compatibility

The new version will require Windows 10 (64-bit version).

The early adopter field test is planned for May/June 2021.  OCLC will directly invite libraries that have participated in previous field tests.  In addition, we are looking for libraries that use network-shared local files, macros, label printing, or the CJK E-Dictionary to join the test.  If you are interested in participating, please contact cnx-product at oclc.org<mailto:cnx-product at oclc.org>.

OCLC expects to release Connexion client 3.0 in the July/August 2021 timeframe.  Support for older versions will be discontinued in 2022 with minimum of 3 months advance notice.

Watch for additional information about the new release of Connexion client in the coming months.  Note that this does not impact the Web-based Connexion browser.

Please pardon any duplication of this message.

Thanks,
David
