The Release of WAPT 2.2

What is a Release Candidate?

In software development phases, a Release Candidate (RC) is the version that precedes the final release version. This version, which has the potential to become the stable release, is made available for final testing. This process helps identify any errors that may occur in specific use cases before the official release.

The Release of WAPT Discovery

The release of version 2.2 marks a turning point in the history of WAPT. Indeed, WAPT Enterprise and WAPT Discovery will share the same code base. The release of these two versions will happen simultaneously.

Therefore, the release of WAPT Discovery is scheduled for mid-March. A Release Candidate of this version is also available starting from Friday, February 11, 2022!

Discovering WAPT Discovery

WAPT Discovery is the free version of WAPT, based on Python 3. This version is limited to 300 devices and does not include all the features of WAPT Enterprise; thus, functionally, it is closer to WAPT Community.

Whether you are starting from scratch or currently using WAPT Community, upgrading to WAPT Discovery follows the same process. Simply follow our documentation.

WAPT Community: Changes to Expect

As announced in 2021, Tranquil IT has decided to stop its contribution to the development of WAPT Community with version 1.8.2. Starting from April 30, 2022, maintenance of WAPT Community will be handed over to the community.

We will no longer provide any services for this version. Tranquil IT does not commit to ensuring compatibility of the WAPT Store with packages from the Community version. Please note that the source code for version 1.8.2 will remain available in read-only mode on the WAPT GitHub.

End of Support for WAPT 1.8.2

Alongside these changes, Tranquil IT has also decided to end support for WAPT Enterprise 1.8.2 starting June 30, 2022. This version, which is nearly 2 years old, now diverges too far from the current version of WAPT. The transition from Python 2 to Python 3 is a clear example of this.

We recommend updating your version of WAPT before this date. You can do so by:

• Following our documentation for updating WAPT.
• Contacting our teams for assistance in this process. Our sales department can be reached at 02.40.97.57.55.

For any version lower than 1.8.2, it is essential to update WAPT to version 1.8.2 before moving to higher versions. Since this operation can be more complex, we advise setting up a new server. Again, our sales team is available to assist you. Rest assured, version 1.8.2 will remain functional after June 30.

We hope this article has addressed your questions clearly. If you have any further inquiries, we are here to assist you. For additional information, you can also refer to our previous press release. Stay updated by following us on our social media platforms: LinkedIn, Twitter, and Discord!
