The Rocket® Software MultiValue team is pleased to announce the availability of jBASE 6.2.1 on October 30th, 2024.

It combines scalable, flexible, seamless interoperability with connectivity and low overhead for system management and administration.

Recommendation
Developing secure, high-quality software is a top priority at Rocket. To ensure we meet top standards in these categories, we adhere to standards set by some of the leading software scans such as Synopsys Black Duck, Polaris, and VeraCode with each release. Rocket acquired the Zumasys product portfolio on Oct 14, 2021. Starting with the jBASE (5.8.6) release these scans are now integrated into the release process. Zumasys did not conform to the same security and quality practices hence any release prior to 5.8.6 does not align with Rocket's standards. We highly recommend upgrading to the latest version of jBASE at your earliest convenience to ensure your organization has the most secure software.
