Update Checker's Release History is missing

Help & Support
1

I purchased a 3-year, 2 license upgrade subscription on February 19th 2026. I installed it in Directory Opus on both my computers OK.

License manager is now showing I am now licensed to 2029-03-07.

Since then, however when the News and Updates window appears (or I open it), the "Release history and other news" panel just contains the text "Retrieving Opus news and headlines from resource.dopus.com..." and never populates with the latest release note links.

Something is working behind the scenes - when I changed the update settings to include 'Check for new beta releases' the update window found and offered me 13.21.7 Beta, however the Release history list remained obstinately empty.

Not sure that this issue with the release notes is actually related to the installation of the upgrade license, but cause and effect would indicate that this is the case.

A back-end change on the forum changed the format of the RSS news feed, which unfortunately broke the News part of the update checker. The next Opus update will resolve the issue.

The update checker itself is separate and was unaffected by the change to the forum.

I'm so glad I queried for this - was banging head until I found it! Thank you.
