Changes
are listed in ascending date order within each table below.
Finding your release number: The release number currently in use is displayed in the upper left corner of the login screen. If already logged in to CARS+, type “LOGIN” from the OPTION field of any menu to view the login screen and see the release number.
The format of
the release number is either:
v12.9-YYMMDD (where YYMMDD represents the date in the format “year month day”.)
For example, April 14, 2010 is shown as: v12.9-100410
A date more recent than your release date is a new feature available in the latest release.
OR
12.9-YYMMDDx (where the date is shown the same as the above followed by a letter.)
For example, December 12, 2009, letter T is shown as: 12.9-091209T
A feature with a letter that is later in the alphabet than your letter is a new feature available only in a later release.
When upgrading from any release prior to 12.9-100411, the upgrade process must be done in two stages. See detailed instructions in the 2012 Jan - June Release Notice.
