Releases
Note: Apple silicon (M1 and up) requires 20.4.2.
Although all previous releases are available here, not all are supported. Any version of Hedge that is older than 1 year is unsupported and considered legacy. Chances are that a legacy version will work completely fine, but if you do run into trouble, please consider upgrading your license.
This update is all about speed; whether you're using regular hard drives, NVMe, 10GE, or doing many-to-many backups — enjoy between 20% and 250% speed gains! Learn more...
