The BIOVIA Foundation, Compose, and Capture 2026 HF5 release is focused solely on Empower and Chromeleon equipment integration, with no changes to the core Foundation, Compose, or Capture services.

The previous Empower Add-In 2026 HF1 release reported significant performance improvements, but also introduced discrepancies due to incomplete data transfer from Empower to the measurement store. This issue was addressed in 2026 HF5 (SEC-12112), where performance testing demonstrated a 25% improvement compared to the baseline 2026 Empower Add-In release. The test case involved 50 Empower results with a total of 1,200 peaks.

The hot fix is available now through the Customer Success team and will be available on the Dassault Systèmes download platform beginning 24 April 2026.

Fixed defects in HF5:

• SEC-12021: Task results containing null values for vocabulary entries are now properly imported into Empower or Chromeleon.

• SEC-12112: Fixed incomplete data retrieval from Empower, ensuring all requested rows are returned.
