OpenAccess SDK 9.0 (July 2025)

Highlights

This new release is focused on security and the overall experience of using the product. Key highlights of this release include:

OpenAccess SDK Server

Enhancements:

  • The default version of the OpenSSL library has been upgraded to version 3.0.16, which fixes the security vulnerabilities listed on the following page: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities-3.0.html.
    This upgrade is available in build 08.02.1440 of the following OpenSSL library files: openssl900.dll (Windows) and openssl900.so (Linux).
  • The ICU library files that are installed with the product have been upgraded to version 74.1. As a part of this upgrade, the ICU library file names have been changed to:
    • For Windows: ivicu.dll (32-bit) and ddicu.dll (64-bit)
    • For Linux: libivicu.so (32-bit) and libddicu.so (64-bit)
    This upgrade is available starting in build 08.02.1072 of the ICU library files.
  • The SQLite library that is included in the product has been upgraded to version 3.49.1.
  • The OpenAccess SDK Server is now compiled with a Visual Studio 2022 compiler for Windows platforms. As a result, you must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime version 14.42.34438 or higher on your machine to install and run the OpenAccess SDK Server.
  • The OpenAccess SDK Server is now compiled with a GCC 8.5 compiler for Linux platforms. As a result, you must have C/C++ runtime libraries of GCC 8.5 or higher to run the OpenAccess SDK Server.

Changed Behavior:

  • The TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 cryptographic protocols have been deprecated. These protocols are no longer considered secure and, therefore, are no longer recommended for use. However, OpenAccess SDK still supports TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 for legacy database servers that do not support more secure protocols.
  • The LDAP functionality is no longer supported. As a result, the OpenLDAP library files are no longer included in the product.
  • The Solaris and HP-UX platforms have been deprecated.
  • The runtime library file, MSVCR100.dll, is no longer included in the product. Install Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime version 14.42.34438 or higher to use the product.
  • The license.txt file is no longer included in the product package.
  • The AIX platform is not supported with OpenAccess SDK 9.0 currently.
  • The HTML help system is no longer included in the product package. The full documentation set is now available on the Progress Information Hub: https://docs.progress.com/category/datadirect-openaccess-sdk. While the product package will not include the HTML help, the installation Help directory will provide an HTML redirect for direct access to the documentation.
