19.0.3: approved emergency fixes till 11/27/25, security fixes till 12/4/25 • 19.1: all changes require code review – approval begins 12/11 • 20.0: open in main • 20 EA1: 1/22/26
Welcome to the JMP Development Update for November 21, 2025!
JMP Live 19.0.2 is now available on MyJMP! In addition, the JMP 19.0.3 security update and emergency bug fix track is now open. A list of approved fixes can be found here.
As we head towards the start of Approval Mode for JMP 19.1 on 12/11/25, please continue to triage your items with Planned Version = 19.1. Here is a report of JMP 19.1 Bugs in Initiated and Developing status with ~200 items left. Bugs should be fixed in 20, tested, and integrated into 19.1. If a fix has already been tested in 20.0, please integrate into 19.1 as soon as possible so final verification can be done sooner rather than later.
Friendly Reminder from Mia:
For those of you who supported the Japan or Korea Discovery, please add your notes to these pages:

Case Topics for Engagement queue, last week – excluding Restricted Party Screening:

- Anna: Began learning new Data Edit testing areas for JMP Live with help from Adrianna and Michael G. ● Reported Copy/Paste and highlighting/selection issues for Data Edit - Client. ● Reported JMP Live problem w/Hide empty platforms for Group output. ● Reported issues for range reference lines w/inline labels when exported to HTML5 after Melisa alerted me to problems she noted on desktop. ● Writing new tests for HTML5 graph builder Jiras marked ACCEPTED AND CLOSED. ● Experimenting w/Xan's new border graph functionality to check need for HTML5 support. ● Testing LDF issues w/Inverse in JMP Live after John pushed changes to handle multiple filters for different tables in a report. Hui verified this fix and I am rechecking general functionality. ● In the process of doing this I noticed that there are quite a few outstanding LDF problems so John and Michael are triaging these to be sure we address most important ones ASAP due to data integrity risks. I will make another pass at this once they fix the most important issues to be addressed for JMP 20.0
