Xpand Portal Connector version support policy and lifecycle
Staying aligned with supported product versions is essential for ensuring stability, security, and access to the latest improvements. To help our customers plan effectively, we follow a clear product lifecycle policy: we fully support the three most recent major releases (a major release is when Xpand Portal Connector compatibility is upgraded to a new version of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central). This means that when a new major version of Xpand Portal Connector is released, we continue providing bug-fix updates for the three preceding major versions. Older releases remain functional but no longer receive fixes.
Xpand Portal Connector versioning
{BC}.{Portal}.{Build}.{Revision} is the versioning pattern we use to plan and implement new functionality, as well as to deliver changes and fixes to existing features.
| Versioning | Meaning | Typical frequency |
| BC | The minimum compatible Business Central version. |
When there are architectural or technological changes in BC or Xpand Portal Connector that affect the compatibility with the currently minimum compatible BC version. |
| Portal | The minimum compatible Xpand Portal version. | Depends on the changes in Xpand Portal that affect compatibility with the connector. |
| Build | The connector build number. This number changes when the release contains new features. | When the next version of BC is released (every April and October) or the minimum compatible BC version is changed or the minimum compatible portal version is changed. |
| Revision | The connector revision number. This number changes when the release contains bug fixes or minor improvements. | When issues are identified and addressed. |
