Release 39 - we need to talk!!!

Hi community,

see: https://aras.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Aras-Innovator-39-Release-Notes.pdf

ALL the key enhancements are very useful! Default desc sorting? keyed names in history? Edit Favorites? But Aras, why now? Why not 10 years ago? 😅

Question #1: Aras mentioned the discontinuation of our beloved MS Report Service, but there was not a single word about the discontinuation of the XSLT Processor. Does anyone have any updates on this?

Question #2: Customer Actions Required for Custom Server-Side Code

Quote: "Before upgrading to Innovator 39, customers should review their custom code for SQL queries that rely on locale-sensitive date or number formatting. "

Does this one help me with this issue? Innovator SQL Procedures vs. Date Format - how to prevent conversion to American date format? | Aras

In my current Innovator I constantly need to convert date data in SQL over and over again, cause sometimes I got the american date format by default. I would be absolutely surprised (and confused) if Aras fixed this issue too.

Best regards

Angela
