We are pleased to announce the availability of Servoy 2025.3 release candidate 2 (release number 4041)

See [_ **whats new** _](https://docs.servoy.com/release-notes/release-notes/2025.03) for the global changes and the case list

For Windows the installer: [_ **exe** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_installer.4041.exe)  
and Windows ARM64/Aarch64 the installer: [_ **exe** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_installer_aarch64.4041.exe)  
and for the MacOSX\_86\_64 we have an native [_ **dmg** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_installer.4041.dmg)  
and for the MacOSX\_Aarch64 (Apple Silicon) we have an native [_ **Apple Silicon dmg** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_installer_aarch64.4041.dmg)  
for linux it is [_ **tar.gz** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_linux.4041.tar.gz)

For windows we also still have just the [_ **zip** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_windows.4041.zip) and [_ **ARM4\_zip** _](https://download.servoy.com/beta/latest/servoy_windows_aarch64.4041.zip)

An installation (coming from the normal installer or from a platform specific archive) is shipping with a Java VM (Java 21.0.6)  
So for the platform specific archives you don’t need to install or have java on your system.

This release is build on Eclipse 2024.12 (4.34)

The developer can be updated by the [_ **https://download.servoy.com/developer/latest/releasecandidate** _](https://download.servoy.com/developer/latest/releasecandidate) update site URL.  
This is in our “latest” release stream (03,06,09,12) if you want to stick the LTS release then disable that releasecandidate url and stick to the URLs with “lts” in the name  
If you update to this release you have to do a new install of 2024.03.4\_LTS to go back to an the LTS release branch  
This 25.03 release will be promoted later this year to the 25.3.x\_LTS

it could be that the update fails if you come from a much older release (like 2021.06 → 2022.12) that you can get errors like:

```auto
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,com.servoy.eclipse.core,2022.12.0.3840_rc.
Error reading signed content:C:\Users\jcomp\AppData\Local\Temp\signatureFile11879913363204093521.jar

```

Or that you can’t install it completely (you can’t pass the update dialog, because it says incompatibilities found)  
This is because from 2022.12 on we depend on java 17. (so the developer that you run should already be on java 17)

You can fix both issues to first jump to an older version like a 2022.03.x release, you can do this by making this URL:

[https://download.servoy.com/developer/latest/3743/](https://download.servoy.com/developer/latest/3743/)

first the only update site in the preferences → install/update → sites, so add that URL and make sure that is the only one.

Then it updates to that release first, then you can enable the release candidate URL again.

The Major 4 package: Bootstrap, Bootstrap Extra, Servoy Extra and NGGrids all got 25.03 releases, its recommended or even mandatory (bootstrap and nggrid) to upgrade
