v18.4 Release Notes - 26 May 2026

This release focuses on stability, integrations, and standards support, delivering a broad set of fixes across core VX workflows.

Significant improvements were made in AMS integrations (Cityworks & Cartegraph), addressing issues with GIS matching, authentication, and overall reliability of data exchange.

The release also includes a wide range of bug fixes, improving system stability across project handling, MapVX, reporting, device integrations, EPSG conversion, and Web communication.

Enhancements in Standards & Compliance further strengthen XML import/export reliability and validation behavior across multiple standards, including NASSCO and BEFDSS workflows.

In parallel, we continued long‑term investment into the platform through technical improvements, preparing VX for upcoming UI modernization and usability enhancements.

Looking ahead, version 18.5 is planned for Jun 30, 2026
