• End of Support Announcement for Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - Microsoft has announced that extended support for SQL Server 2016 will end on July 14, 2026. In alignment with this timeline, HRPro will discontinue support for deployments running on SQL Server 2016 effective December 31, 2026. As a result, HRPro 24, released on January 1, 2027, does not support SQL Server 2016 as a database server. Customers currently using SQL Server 2016 are advised to upgrade to SQL Server 2017, 2019, 2022, or 2025 before upgrading to HRPro 24. Early planning and upgrading will help ensure a smooth transition and avoid potential service disruptions.

• Minor improvements, security patches, and bug fixes.
