Deployment Architecture

Which forwarder version sloves the timestamp recognition of dates with two-digit years fails beginning January 1, 2020?

We wonder which forwarder version solves this issue?

We deployed the all_date_patch_props application to all the forwarders but we wonder which forwarder version solves this issue.

That's been answered in a doc:

Major version   Minor version with patched file     Released? 
6.6             6.6.12.1                           Yes  
7.0             7.0.13.1                            Yes     
7.1             7.1.10                           No     
7.2             7.2.9.1                             Yes     
7.3             7.3.3                             Yes   
8.0             8.0.1                             No 

8.0.1 is, if I heard correctly, due out perhaps next monday the 16th, but y'know no one can guarantee that.

Of course, only 7.3 and 8.0 are supported fully right now, and in 60 more days when 7.2 disappears off the "limited support" list they'll be the only versions supported.

But again, I expect full and correct information to be maintained in that docs page.

Thank you @rich7177 - do these version numbers apply to the forwarders as well?
