## <span style="color: #000000">**New**</span>

---

- <span style="color: #000000">**V-Ray Scene Export - Export Site Context Geometry: **</span><span style="color: #000000">Now when exporting a V-Ray scene, the site context included in the scene will be exported as well.</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">**Announcement - Phased Removal of Old Host Versions: **</span><span style="color: #000000">Starting in 2025, Enscape will remove unsupported host application versions from our installer three months after their official end-of-support announcement. While we’ve historically included older releases (for example, Revit 2015 - 2021), we’ve found that continuing to bundle out-of-date versions creates additional complexity for both developers and customer support teams. Since these older releases are no longer supported by their original publishers, phasing them out from our latest installers helps us focus on providing the best possible experience for current versions.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Each time we officially support a new host application release, we’ll clearly communicate which older versions will be removed, and when, through our Forum and Release Notes. We understand change could be inconvenient, but this policy ensures better code quality, a streamlined installer, and improved support for you. Stay tuned for more details!</span>
