Changes to Functionality and Supporting Technology

In planning for upcoming releases of Workflow, please note that a number of changes to functionality and supporting technology are scheduled.

Support for installing and running Workflow in Legacy (compatibility) mode has been discontinued. It will be possible to upgrade legacy systems to non-legacy systems, but doing so may require updating any service providers that rely on the previous service provider architecture to use the new service provider architecture.
Support for installing and running the Workflow on Microsoft^® Windows XP has been discontinued.
Support for one-click installation of Workflow will be discontinued in a future release of the software. The client installation should be used when one-click installation is discontinued.

All Workflow assemblies are now compiled in .NET Framework version 4.5. Custom displays and applications that reference an earlier version of .NET must change to instead reference .NET v4.5 in order to function properly.
Starting with Workflow 2.5, legacy certificates are no longer supported.
