Release Notes 21.x

Attention: All Releases Before 20.2

Attention SSL-Problem: Our hoster (www.exept.de) has changed the SSL-policy, only allowing the newest SSL-encryption/chaining modes. The previous expecco releases are not able to download the fix for this problem automatically.

You have to download the patch:

https://download.exept.de/download/expecco/20.1.0/patches/0017_SSLClientHelloMsg.expeccoPatch 

using a web browser and install it with the "Extras" -> "Maintenance" -> "Install Patch from File" menu item.
