   .. rubric:: Changes to Product Packages

   With the consolidation of HOOPS Exchange and HOOPS Publish, starting from the 2025.7.0 release, the following changes will take place to the HOOPS Exchange packages:

   * **Package Names**: The word "Publish" has been removed from the packages' names.

     The legacy HOOPS Publish samples are still available under the "Publishing" subfolder.
     Please refer to `Samples <https://docs.techsoft3d.com/exchange/latest/sample_codes.html>`__ page for more detailed information.
   * **Advanced Publishing**: The legacy HOOPS Publish documentation can be found under the "Advanced Publishing" subsection of the HOOPS Publish documentation.
