Dropped Support for Imaging / Advanced Imaging in BPP2026

Hi BIOVIA team,

Long-time user and supporter of BPP here. I was looking to upgrade from BPP2025 to BPP2026, and noticed that the imaging/advanced imaging are no longer supported/deleted.

  • Why were these libraries removed? A brief rationale would be appreciated, since this was a major toolset that we have built on for over a decade. 
  • Is re-implementation planned—or alternative coverage—on the roadmap? If so, any rough guidance on scope or timelines (even high-level) would help us plan and decide next steps.
  • What are our options to maintain existing codebases built on these libraries? Will legacy protocols execute in 2026 via compatibility packs or runtime shims? Or do we just fully migrate to Python...

Thanks,

RTP
