In preparation for the new versions of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers expected to be released towards the end of August, we have just released an updated version of 3CX Update 5 named Hotfix 2 as well as an Update 6 Beta 2 to address certain compatibility issues. What's more, the Technical Preview Beta is now extended to the latest Raspberry Pi OS 10 (Buster) running on Pi 4.

Pre-empting Compatibility Issues

Update 6 Beta 2 and Update 5 Hotfix 2 both address compatibility issues caused by enhanced certificate checks that will be adopted by Google Chrome and Edge 85 or later browser releases.

Update 6 BETA 2 also includes updated translations for the Clients, Wizard and Management Console.

Buster Tech Preview for Latest Pi 4
