Release Cadence
QPS and Qimera will adopt a faster release cadence, providing smaller, more frequent feature releases and scheduled bug-fix releases to deliver steadier, more regular updates.
Licensing
Existing Qimera users with a license that is under maintenance will be able to install and run Qimera 2.9 alongside Qimera 1, using the same license.
If you have a Qimera Offshore license only, you will not be able to run versions 2.3 and earlier of Qimera since the older versions are not aware of the new product license code for Qimera Offshore.
Installers
The Qimera installer will install by default into sub-directories with the version name under the typical install path, which is usually C:\Program Files\QPS\Qimera. This allows multiple installations quite easily and follows the trend that Qinsy has been using for some time. Users with Qimera 1.X or 2.X already installed will find that Qimera 2.9.0 will install into the Qimera 1 directory, but in the 2.9.0 sub-directory of the Qimera 1 installation folder.
