2023.1

This release of P4 Admin has been upgraded to use the Qt6 Framework. This allows us to officially support additional platforms, among them is support for Windows 11 and the availability of Universal builds for macOS. These will provide native support for arm64 processor platforms as well as Intel platforms.

2022.3

  • Support for limiting how much Server memory a command can use. See Group settings and limits.

  • To help your organization avoid unwanted downtime, starting seven (7) days before the license expires, the P4 administrator is notified of the expiration date when logging in to the Server. The user with the super access level might have modified this default behavior to a different number of days, or to warn all users, or to warn no users. This depends on the settings of the auth.licenseexpiry.warn and auth.licenseexpiry.warnthreshold configurables in the (missing or bad snippet).
