Predict! Risk Controller 6.5.2: September 30, 2026

Predict! 6.5.2 is a maintenance release concentrating on performance, stability and security hardening for large, busy enterprise deployments, together with fixes for issues found in the 6.5 line.

Feature	Description	Benefit
Performance – Faster Risk Open and Save	Static scoring and impact configuration data is now cached, and action impact data is retrieved in a single batched query when opening a risk. Unnecessary database queries triggered during save have been removed, and a wider set of performance improvements addresses slow response times on large enterprise deployments. (PRC-9445 / PRC-9586 / PRC-9587 / PRC-9605)	Substantially faster opening and saving of risks, especially on large multi-user systems.
Performance – Faster Attachment Upload	Uploading an attachment to a risk is now faster. (PRC-9612)	Less waiting when adding supporting evidence to a risk.
Notifications – Redesigned Mechanism	The in-app notification mechanism has been redesigned to be more reliable, resolving errors and instability seen when many users were working in Predict! at the same time. (PRC-9590)	Dependable notifications, even at peak load.
Security – SHA-256 Password Hashing	New installations now use SHA-256 rather than SHA-1 to hash user passwords. Existing installations are unchanged on upgrade, but users' passwords are automatically re-encrypted on login. SHA-1 has also been removed from the OpenSSL configuration supplied with the installer, making SHA-256 the minimum level for generated certificates. (PRC-6543 / PRC-7984)	Stronger protection of credentials with no manual migration effort.
Installer – Log Management	Apache error logs now roll over rather than growing indefinitely, in line with access and SSL request logs, and the security log is no longer lost when the WildFly service restarts. (PRC-9301 / PRC-9407)	Keeps disk usage under control and preserves the audit trail across restarts.
Installer – Database Compatibility	SQL Server 2025 and Oracle 26 have been verified as compatible with Predict!. (PRC-8898 / PRC-9155)	Lets you adopt the latest database platforms with confidence.
Installer – Credential Store Naming	The credential store file created by the installer is now named predict.cs, matching the name used in the manual password encryption instructions. (PRC-7356)	Removes confusion when following the documentation.

Predict! Risk Controller 6.5.1: June 4, 2026

Predict! 6.5.1 introduces enhanced risk to schedule linking: risks can be linked to imported schedule tasks from their existing folder, without copying or moving them, so each risk is managed in one place with a single assessment applied wherever it is linked. The release also brings installer improvements, email support for environments without Basic SMTP Authentication, new Predict! Connect scoring grid endpoints, and a range of fixes.

Feature	Description	Benefit
Risks – Link Risks to Schedule Tasks	Risks can now be linked to schedule activities (project tasks) from their existing folder location within Risk Controller. Risks may be linked to multiple projects, and to multiple tasks in the same project. (PRC-990)	Manage each risk once, in one place, and eliminate out-of-sync copies and double-counted exposure.
Risks – Task Links Section	A new 'Task Links' section on the risk detail page shows all tasks linked to the risk, and a new option lets you link a risk to a task directly from the detail screen. Clicking a project or task link opens the corresponding risk folder with that project and task selected. (PRC-8013 / PRC-2585 / PRC-9161)	Complete visibility of where a risk is linked, with one-click navigation to the schedule.
Risks – Bulk Linking from Task Tree	Risks can be linked to tasks from the project/task tree view, allowing bulk linking of risks to activities. (PRC-8490)	Link many risks to a schedule quickly, rather than one at a time.
Risks – Task Link Notifications	Notifications are now sent when a risk is linked to or unlinked from a task, and a folder notification is sent when risks are linked to or unlinked from a task or project within the folder. (PRC-8015 / PRC-9162)	Keeps risk and schedule owners informed of changes that affect their analysis.
Lists – Linked Tasks Column	Linked tasks are now displayed more clearly on risk lists, with improved formatting for risks linked to multiple tasks. (PRC-9251)	See at a glance which risks affect which schedule activities.
Risks – Consistent Bulk Link Screen	The bulk link screen is now used when linking related risks from the risk detail screen, providing a consistent experience with other linking operations. (PRC-5338)	One familiar way to link items everywhere in Predict!.
Folders – Automatic Unlinking on Project Deletion	When a project is deleted, any risks in other folders that were linked to tasks in that project are now automatically unlinked. (PRC-8496)	Prevents orphaned links and keeps data tidy without manual clean-up.
Email – Modern Authentication Support	Predict! now supports sending email notifications in environments where Basic SMTP Authentication is disabled (e.g. Microsoft 365 from March 2026). The sender's from address can be specified during installation, and MFA QR code emails now use the standard email mechanism. (PRC-8302 / PRC-9190 / PRC-9377)	Keeps notifications flowing as email providers retire legacy authentication.
General – Feedback and Feature Requests	A Feedback and feature requests option has been added to the Help menu, allowing users to submit ideas directly from within Predict!. Note this is not for support – continue to use existing channels for help. (PRC-8823)	Gives every user a direct voice in shaping the product.
General – Clearer Hidden Item Messaging	When a linked item is not visible to the current user, a clear message is now displayed instead of a blank name. (PRC-7991)	Removes confusion about why a linked item appears empty.
Installer – Apache 2.4.66 and Simplified SSL	Apache has been upgraded to 2.4.66, an Apache updater script is included to simplify future updates, configuration changes reduce the manual steps in SSL setup, and the SSL certificate management tool has moved from win-acme to simple-acme. (PRC-9176 / PRC-6906 / PRC-8462 / PRC-9144)	Faster, less error-prone installs and upgrades with current, supported components.
Installer – MySQL 8.4.0 LTS	MySQL 8.4.0 LTS has been verified as compatible with Predict!. (PRC-8091)	Lets you run Predict! on a current long-term-support database release.
Predict! Connect – Scoring Grid Endpoints	New API endpoints retrieve a specific scoring grid by identifier, and all scoring grids defined in the database. (PCON-195 / PCON-486)	Lets integrations read scoring configuration without manual lookups.
Controls – Performance	Significantly improved performance when opening risks with multiple linked controls, and a long delay when editing a control's effectiveness rating has been resolved. (PRC-8887 / PRC-9188)	Faster working with control-heavy risks.
Bow Tie – Control Link Editing	Users can now edit link information for controls on the Bow Tie if they have permission to edit either the risk or the control. (PRC-9173)	Lets risk owners maintain their Bow Tie without needing control edit rights.
Risks – Normal Distribution Correction	The Normal distribution formula used to calculate a Mean value has been corrected. On upgrade, existing risks using a Normal distribution have their 3-point estimates adjusted to retain their existing scores for continuity. (PRC-8568)	More accurate mean values going forward, with no disruption to existing scores.
