Jiwa v7.2 has now been released.  This is a Long Term Support (LTS) version which means that Jiwa will be providing service releases for this version.  Service Releases are used to update the Jiwa application without the need for a full upgrade of your Jiwa database.

In this release Jiwa have re-instated concurrent licensing which means user scan now utilise a combination of both concurrent and named licenses.  The licensing model was changed to named with the release of Jiwa v7.1, we at Austlink lobbied on behalf of our clients to have the model changed back to concurrent so it is great to see Jiwa take this on board and make the change.

This release also sees a significant improvement to the REST API function which now includes support for GL Journals, Landed Costing, Warehouse Transfers, and for the more technically minded Web hooks.
