.. warning::

   Two package issues have been identified for this release:

   MacOS package contains instabilities that forced us to remove it from download.
   A new package will be delivered with *HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1*.

   The binaries for Android have been permuted between the *ARMv7A* and *ARMv8A-64* folders.
   You may still use *HOOPS Exchange* for Android by making the change manually within your distribution.
   The binaries locations will be fixed with *HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1*.

   *HOOPS Exchange 2021 SP1 U1* is targeted for May the 11th.
