Platform Support Plan for HOOPS Suite
This information covers the HOOPS suite of products including Exchange, Publish, Visualize and Communicator.
Introduction
In order to provide a simpler, smoother, and higher quality developer experience for our HOOPS partners, we are beginning to unify the operating systems, architectures, and build tools used for each of the HOOPS products. Making these products more consistent with each other will require several changes. We’re announcing these changes in advance so that our partners can plan accordingly. We understand that changing these foundational technologies has a significant impact on our partners. We only make changes when there is compelling reason to do so, and we will try to give ample notice for partners to adjust as changes occur.
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact support@techsoft3d.com.
Defining Deprecation
We have established a formal definition for deprecation so that our intent is clear when we indicate that a functionality is deprecated. Deprecation means End of Support; it is our strongest indication that partners should find an alternative for a particular functionality. In particular:
We plan to remove this functionality in the near future. The time frame to remove a functionality will vary in each instance. We may deprecate a functionality without indicating a removal date.
We urge partners to discontinue use of this functionality as soon as possible.
We will not fix defects related to this functionality.
