The release date changed to 2021 on the download site, that's what caused the confusion. So that's just a wrong date, as I understand. Thanks for the clarification.

Jul 29, 2021DanielNiccoli correct, I really don't know why it changed but we did verify the bits are still the old ones... Since we are on this topic, perhaps its time to take SCM down... Thoughts?

I agree that perhaps it's better to move to the new SCT, but there might still be companies that still run 2012 and rely on the availability of SCM 4 as a download? Maybe you have the option to add a notice that SCM is superseded by SCT on that download page and leave it up until 2012 support ends?- Rick_MunckJul 29, 2021
