• Polarion Requirements 2.0 (Version 2.0) [Download]
• Polarion Track & Wiki (Version 1.0.2) [Download]
• Polarion ALM (Version 3.2.1) [Download]

These are maintenance releases with bug fixes and performance improvements. A listing of the issues fixes is included in the update distribution archives.

Note that the links above lead to a page where you can download the appropriate update distribution. These downloads are for updating existing installations only (i.e. they can’t be used for a clean installation of the product).

The entire Polarion Software team would like to thank you for using Polarion solutions, and wish you a pleasant winter holiday season and a prosperous new year.

This post is to advise current Polarion ALM customers that we have an update release, version 3.1.2, available. This is a maintenance release focused mainly on bug fixing, performance, and usability. Since everything in this release will also be in the next major release, it is not critical to update now unless you really need one of the fixes delivered in the update. To see a list of the issues fixed, you can visit the Enterprise Download page - Related Downloads and check the Resolved Work Items file.
