Traveler is a continuos delivery product with one code stream
Daniel Nashed – 1 July 2025 08:58:22
Traveler was always a single code stream going forward in builds and labeling it with a version.
The team also does awesome work to have new Traveler versions work with any support Domino versions.
You only need to make sure you reinstall Traveler if you switch to a new major release, because the Traveler installer will take care of installing the right binaries for the underlaying Domino version.
What is new that HCL is removing older downloads from MHS. Today you can only download Traveler 14.5.
But product management is thinking about brining back at least one back level version. Which would be currently Traveler 14.0 FP2.
In general this is a good and important practice. But you have to be careful if you are running add-on applications or special device types like SecurePIM.
There has been change in the way Apple APNS push is implemented. Which should just for out of the box for normal devices.

Token-based authentication for APNS
-- snip--
Authentication by Traveler to the APNS servers has changed from certificate-based authentication to token-based authentication.
This removes the need to have or maintain the p12 certificate files for APNS which expire and therefore must be updated every year.
Customers using Maas360 and SecurePIM clients should check with the app providers for support of Traveler 14.5 APNS push support.

Updating Traveler
But beside that you are on the safe side updating to Traveler 14.5 for all supported Domino versions.
Below is the support statement from HCL, which is a bit hidden in a technote.
To avoid more questions I am writing this blog post to raise awareness.
There are also other Domino+ products like Verse, Nomad and the REST API which are on the continuos delivery model.
Domino Container project
The container project always selects the latest Traveler version and also other continuos automatically.
I am going to remove the very old software releases from software.txt in the Domino Container project.
But on purpose leaving some older web-kits in case admins have already downloaded the software earlier and need those older versions for example for testing upgrades etc.
HCL Traveler support statement

-- snip--
There is one single maintenance stream being supported. This single release can be installed and run on any supported level of Domino server.
To obtain the latest features and customer fixes it is required to be at this latest Traveler level.
The one release model is necessary to keep pace with an extremely fast moving mobile marketplace and will allow all customers to stay current with the latest features and fixes for mobile devices.
