Hi @phaumer, Does Zowe CLI (V3 or other) need to be physically installed on the workstation for Z Open Editor / Zowe Explorer to work? (This is the case on our workstations, but for direct use and not necessarily for ZOE / ZE). Is the structure of the profile files and associated schemas changed by the switch to Zowe V3? If so, ZOE or ZE must support automatic V2 / V3 migration to avoid reproducing the problem known when changing the structure of the zapp.yaml file. Thanks. |

@FALLAI-Denis no, Zowe Explorer v3 does not require an installation of Zowe CLI. Also the format of the Zowe CLI profiles will not have any breaking changes in v3 that would require a migration. The only thing Z Open Editor v5 requires is that Zowe Explorer v3 is installed as the breaking changes are only for use extenders so that we cannot also support running Zowe Explorer v2. Vice versa, Z Open Editor v4 will not work with Zowe Explorer v3. Here is a detailed list of the planned Zowe Explorer changes: https://github.com/zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode/wiki/v3-Changes-for-Users-and-Extenders |

Hi, will there be a preview version of Z Open Editor 5.0.0, in the near future, similar to Zowe v3 preview, so our own extension can be made ready for 5.0.0. Thanks. |

Hi, Zowe Explorer version 3.0.0 has been released to the Marketplace, and installs automatically, which then causes IBM Z Open Editor 4.5.x to malfunction... |

As we did previously for major releases (e.g. Z Open Editor 3.0.0) we want to warn you about a major release update that has some breaking changes that require updates to your development machines. We cannot announce the date for this release just yet, but we want to give our users enough time to prepare.
With Z Open Editor v5.0.0 there will be two major changes:
