Warning

Two package issues have been identified for this release:

MacOS package contains instabilities that forced us to remove it from download. A new package will be delivered with HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1.

The binaries for Android have been permuted between the ARMv7A and ARMv8A-64 folders. You may still use HOOPS Exchange for Android by making the change manually within your distribution. The binaries locations will be fixed with HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1.

HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1 is targeted for May the 11th.
