Community Edition Updates
- The "Site Administrators" and "Site Developers" groups are no longer created by default or used for assigning permissions.
- Study security policies may need to be updated if they relied on these groups.
- By default, the "assigned-to" list for an issue tracker is now the "Site Users" group, where it was previously the "Site Administrators" group.
Distribution Changes and Upgrade Notes
TBD
Deprecated Features
- The "Advanced import options" of choosing objects during import of folder archives, as well as having those imports applied to multiple folders simultaneously, have both been deprecated.
- Support for additional date, time, and datetime parsing patterns has been removed.
- "Assay Progress Reports" in studies have been removed.
- Support for object-level discussions has been removed. (Wishful thinking? This is still in the deprecated stage. I hope it's removed by 25.7.)
- Support for Ancillary Studies has been removed.
- The Publish Study feature provides a more extensive mechanism for creating child studies. (docs)
- Support for study protocol design tools has been removed.
- Support for SQL Server 2016 has been removed. (supported versions)
