Release Notes

migration-center 25.1

(released on 11-Apr-2025)

Breaking changes

In order to eliminate security vulnerabilities we upgraded the WebClient to Tomcat 10 and Java 17.

Due to this, the WebClient no longer works with Java 8 or Java 11 and is not compatible with migration-center database versions earlier than 25.1.
