Release Notes Version 6

Always install new releases on a test server and verify the results prior to doing so in production.

Ensure that you have a recent backup of your production database prior to installation.

For Process Director v5.44.600 and higher, the most recent Microsoft Rewrite and Advanced Request Routing IIS modules must be installed. These modules can be downloaded and quickly installed by obtaining the ARR v3.0 download package from Microsoft. Microsoft states that the ARR download package should already contain the existing External Cache Module dependency, so it should be the only installation you need to perform. The URL Rewrite module can, if necessary, also be separately downloaded from Microsoft.
