Version 9.x continues to improve and enhance infrastructures, such as in GUI and TLS/Security areas, to allow continued future improvements while keeping API capability. The types of changes made to the products fall into a few categories:- Required changes – Operating system changes, OS API changes, OS compiler changes, Modern TLS and Security standards
