September 26, 2022 UPDATE:
- There was a delay in staging the Release 8.19.2 cwscms.msi file planned for last Friday. The file is now available on the CWSDFSr server for COEX counties and will be available once it syncs up to your county server (typically happens once/hour). This delay will not impact the 9/27/2022 Go-Live date, and all counties/users have until 10/25/2022 to install it on their workstations.
- We do not generate individual Release Notes for Interim releases; however, the 8.19 Release Notes attached have details on page 4 of the JV-237 Proof of Service-Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program Placement document.
