# Studio 5.0.0.RC - 30 November 2017

Studio 5.0.0.RC is a major release that includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

As of this release, Studio 4.x will not be supported one calendar year from 5.0.0.GA's release date. See Axway Appcelerator Deprecation Policy and Nominal Lifetimes documents for details.

# Improvements

  • TISTUD-7981 (opens new window) - Use appc daemon to request system info

    • Studio no longer uses ti info -t <platform> with the introduction of the appc daemon. Studio connects to this server over a WebSocket and query the system information and listen for changes.
  • TISTUD-8873 (opens new window) - iOS: Use JSCore by default with SDK 7.0

    • JSCore will be configured by default if you're working with SDK 7.0 and higher
  • TISTUD-8890 (opens new window) - Install node.js 8.7 with the studio 5.0 installers

    • Install node.js 8.7 with the Atudio 5.0 installers and increase the minimum version required to 7.6
