The Interchange Development Group is pleased to announce the release of Interchange 5.8.0. This release is the culmination of years of work in the 5.7 development branch, and supercedes Interchange 5.6 as the preferred stable release. Changes between 5.6 and this version are too innumerable to list here, but a full list is available at: http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.8/WHATSNEW We recommend that all Interchange sites be upgraded to this new version after testing in each individual environment. Please read the UPGRADE document for information about upgrade procedures and a few incompatible changes introduced by this release.
