The goal of this release was to add support for staging orders, role importers, improve system functionality, and enable End of Year Support as well as address various defects.

The following enhancements and modifications were made since version 5.2.0:

Note: .NET 4.5 Framework or higher is required for our systems. Please review our system requirements here.

Note: DataCenter has also been updated to Enable Debug by Default and Include Log Files by default.

This version of Edison does not contain USDA changes for the upcoming school year nor the CN22 database. Once we have received the data and made the appropriate changes, we will notify you via RSS Feed that the newer version supporting these changes are available.
