Component Pack 6.0.0.6 has been released

Just in time for Social Connections 14 in Berlin the Component Pack 6.0.0.6 has been released (and yes, it’s a coincident, but certainly helping me on my session on this release). Releasing it was a major step as it now removes the hard wires to IBM Cloud private. It is now more open allowing you to use a management platform of choice, while of course still being able to be used with IBM Cloud private, if your company is using it already for other solutions as well.

For those who are wondering what the Component Pack is – this is the official name of the package that contains all the currently available components that were formerly known as Codename “Pink”: Orient Me, the Customizer and the ElasticSearch solution offering the new Metric services as well as the new recently viewed Files as well as recent Communities. Jointly with Connections 6.0 CR3 the Component Pack 6.0.0.6 greatly enhance the Connections experience – with more to come in the future! 🙂

As always you can download it on FixCentral here.

You can find the installation instructions in the Knowledge Center here.
