To address many of the posts above, there is a service release coming out this month (17.2.1) that will have significant improvements in quality and stability over previous versions.

We will continue to focus on stabilizing the product and then shift our attention to remaining gap features and other enhancements.

Thank you Steph for this exciting news!

The 17.2.0 is full of issues. From my personal view it shouldn't be used for production at all. I hope the new version can be much better.

Hello Stephen,

Do you know the approximate date for this relase? We are containing a big migration due the bugs detected and it will be very useful for us to know when this version will be available

Thanks!

17.2.1 is currently planned for release on November 10th.

Hello Fernando,

I would not use NPrinting 17 in it's current version. For one of our customers we tried to use 17.1 without any success so we decided to reverse to 16.5 that is much more stabile and has all the functions that 17.1 doesn't have.

Very interested. Any ideas about which bugs Qlik have fixed?

As I understand it, there is no migration path between 16 and 17. Whilst the templates can be reused, I think you will need to recreate the .nsq again with the new version. Also, having loaded version 17 it doesn't play nicely with version 16 so you cannot have the two versions on the same server whilst migrating from one to the other.

Hi, Jacob.

Best thing to do is check the release notes:

e.g. QlikView NPrinting 17.2 Release Notes

‌Hi Neil,

I know   but 17.2.1 hasn't been released yet, so I was just fishing for some early intel.

Cheer,
