Construct PM 1.0.70 Release Notes
Enterprise Customers: To run build 1.0.70 (190710) it’s critical that your installed web services/APIs are on version 1.0.123369 or later. These APIs are included in patch 16 HF 04 or later, however some clients may have received the required files via HFs on patch 15-2. If you are running an older version of the web services, new features may be inaccessible or malfunction. We will provide "best effort" support to customers running older web services versions - but cannot guarantee resolution/delivery timelines outside currently supported system-patch levels.
Cloud Customers: No action is required on your part.
