I like to address this question directly to @Bryan Dupree :
First, thanks for your valuable feedback regarding the June Cfix. This time I'm interested about the roadmap of the next Cfix's. So far I know the plan was to release a monthly Cfix at the beginning of the month. Can you tell us please more about the schedule of the July Cfix and when the next Cfix's are planed? Thanks a lot for your help.
Best Regards
Michael
Hi Michael,
Thanks for reaching out. I am glad you asked about the Cfix schedule as this is a topic I have been discussing both internally and with some customers.
Given the greatly improved amount of testing (This takes a full week per cfix) we are now doing. I am going to make a change to the Cfix release schedule.
With the above said I will implement the following change.
The next 7.0cfix will be released Aug. 2nd given the first is on a Sunday. Then the next 7.0 cfix will be released on Oct. 1st.
The next 6.5cr1 cfix will be released On Sept. 1st. and then on Nov. 1st.
We will continue to release a cfix every month but will alternate 7.0 one month and then the next 6.5cr1. From all the feed back I have received most customers would not install the cfixes monthly any way given testing requirements of their own. This new schedule will still provide all our customer with a valuable fix pack on a regular basis and still allow us to do the indepth testing we require before release.
We may need to update some of our documentation to reflect this change.
Please feel free to email me directly if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bryan Dupree

Many thanks for your fast and comprehensive answer. Our customers appreciate that.
Hi Bryan,
The latest CFix I see in FlexNet is CFix.70.2106. Did the August CFix get delayed?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.
The August Connections 7.0 CFix has been delayed, we're evaluating it everyday as we work to sort some unexpected items.
