Reading Time: 2 minutes
A new era of integration is here! The 6.12.0 release is a new Long-Term Support (LTS) version for TIBCO BusinessWorks 6 (including BWCE) with support guaranteed through August 2030.
With this release, TIBCO has merged its separate on-premise and container offerings into a single, cohesive solution. This simplifies your integration journey by eliminating the need for separate downloads and ensuring product enhancements are rolled out consistently and simultaneously, regardless of where you deploy.
Furthermore, the upgrade steps from previous releases of TIBCO BusinessWorks or BusinessWorks Container Edition remain unchanged, requiring no migration or any additional configuration/steps to be followed

This unified product release is packed with features designed to simplify your workflow and speed up development.
- One Product, All Deployments: A unification of TIBCO’s separate on-premise and container offerings into a single product, eliminating separate downloads and ensuring a consistent delivery of product updates and fixes.
