KOR Release Notification

KOR operates under the CI/CD (continuous integration continuous delivery) model of software delivery.  The approach offers a wide range of benefits including
  • Faster release cycles, frequent updates, and better fault isolation in support of a more positive customer experience.
  • Faster issue resolution and a more efficient software development process.
  • Delivered software quickly and securely, with fewer errors and higher quality.
Breaking Changes Notification
  • For minor breaking changes, KOR will make best business efforts to provide at least 1 week's notice to clients via email.  The breaking change will be available in the test environment.  Minor breaking changes will have a communicated production implementation date.
    • Examples:
      • Removal or Name Change to report fields
      • Report changes that require a new report definition to be generated
      • Lightening of validations
      • Reconciliation template fields or field default tolerance
  • For major breaking changes, KOR will make best business efforts to provide at least 3 weeks’ notice to clients via email. Major breaking changes will have a communicated production implementation date.  
    • Examples:
      • Field validations 
      • Field format
      • Enum modification
      • Processing logic
      • Calculation logic
      • API operations
      • API version
  • For regulatory changes introduced by the regulator, KOR will make best business efforts to provide at least 3 months’ notice to clients via email. Regulatory changes will have a communicated production implementation date.  
    • Examples:
      • Jurisdictional rewrites
Non-Breaking Changes Notification
  • For non-breaking changes, KOR will notify clients of relevant changes through release notes delivered via email.  Release notes will be sent periodically, typically bi-weekly with the notable changes over the prior period.
  • Non-breaking changes may be released on any day of the week without advance notice.

    • UI improvements
