Universal Contact Server 8.5.x Release Note

This Release Note applies to all 8.5.x releases of Universal Contact Server. Links in the Available Releases section enable you to access information regarding a specific release.

For information about 8.1.x releases of Universal Contact Server, see the 8.1 Release Note (Cumulative).

Available Releases

Releases are listed by version number rather than in date order. For this reason, a recent release may be listed after earlier releases, if the version number is lower. Except when otherwise noted in the information for a specific release, each release includes all of the features and corrections that were introduced for the applicable operating system at earlier dates, regardless of the version numbering.

The operating systems available for use with each component release are listed in the table at a high level only. For more detailed information about the supported operating environments, including requirements, supported versions, and any conditions or limitations, see the Universal Contact Server page in the Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide.
