What's new in this release

Changes to note:

ARL cab file has been updated with a new product metric ‘IBM VPC’ which is supplementary for our upcoming FNMS 2020 R2 release. You may notice or catch a glimpse of Virtual Processor Core (VPC) in the Points Rule Set FNMS UI.

This will not have any impact and will not be a cause for any concerns in terms of recognition and licensing. You may disregard this until additional product and licensing content are available. The licensing content changes in SKU, PURL, and Bundle libraries are scheduled to release on Nov 27th and product release FNMS 2020 R2 is scheduled to release on Nov 18th for Europe and Nov 24th for North America customers.

"Product release FNMS 2020 R2 is scheduled to release on Nov 19th for Europe"

Does this mean that for on-premise customers, we can download 2020R2 thru Product & license Center on the 19'th of November?

Would it be possible to update these notes to include a summary of applications where Publisher changes to a new one?

For example, after last ARL update Fair Isaac Blaze Advisor 7.3 changed to FICO Blaze Advisor 7.3. It took some time to understand what happened.
