Compatibility and important notes
- Windows: 64-bit Windows; the recommended installer installs for the current user.
- Linux: x86-64, glibc 2.28 or newer, and OpenSSL 3 (
libssl.so.3). ARM, Alpine/musl, and older-OpenSSL-only systems are not supported by this package. - macOS packaging remains deferred.
- Windows executables report product version
1.2.0and file revision1.2.0.1. - The Windows executables are not code-signed, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. Verify the supplied checksum before running a transferred package.
- Import replaces the complete active workspace; it does not merge data. The imported users and passwords become active.
- Individual Cash Sale entry, inventory, payroll, tax accounting, multi-branch networking, cloud sync, and hosted access remain outside this release.
