The long-term support (LTS) release 2025/11 places a strong emphasis on stability, reliability, and overall system quality. As is typical for an LTS version, many improvements focus on strengthening internal processes—expanding automated functional testing, cleaning up outdated components, modernizing infrastructure and optimizing performance in several frequently used screens and services. These changes aim to ensure predictable behaviour and smoother upgrades.
Alongside these quality-oriented updates, the release also brings a number of practical functional enhancements that users will encounter in daily work. These include the introduction of crosslists in the web client, refinements in transmission planning such as easier multi-channel schedule opening, and a refreshed on-premise login screen.
Additions such as Portuguese localization, extended BXF export options, and various usability and consistency fixes make everyday use of the system more comfortable.
This LTS release aims to balance long-term maintainability with thoughtful improvements across key areas of PROVYS Sphere.
New login screen
Users of the on-premise version now log in through a redesigned dialog with new PROVYS Sphere graphics. Frequently used controls are now visible by default, while advanced settings are organized under Connection Options. Debug information can be accessed by hovering over the version number, displayed in a convenient pop-up.
Smart crosslists
The powerful crosslist feature is now available in the web client. It brings a fully interactive pivot-style analysis with a drill-down, expandable dimensions, and row/column summaries.
Users can visualize ratios between dimensions using a dynamic, built-in graph, and intuitively refine layouts through drag-and-drop or the familiar Column Editor used in gridsets.
Functional testing covering acquisition
There are automated functional tests running before each upgrade. We make sure everything is perfect and secure.
Set of depreciation test scenarios for both Programme and Series assets, covering multiple rounding modes and different pricing / depreciation input methods was prepared. A full suite of scenarios was designed and is continuously executed for run-usage and tax (time-based) depreciations, including value changes, adjustments to run counts, and handling of partially written off or realized runs.
Technological improvements
This update also introduced a high amount of small technological improvements. The clients find a detailed list of the changes at their accounts.
