    Hello,
    about 4 years ago was mentioned: "We should be able to deliver this wihin a year" and dependency to Windows 10. Now Windows 10 is going sunset.
    What exactly is the problem?

    Hello folks,

    even with PComm 15 there is no TLS 1.3 support für TN3270-Connections.
    TLS 1.3 is mentioned in the "Whats new", but only for https-connections.

    My idea https://ideas.ibm.com/ideas/PCOMM-I-87
    was marked as "duplicate" to this one, but here also no progress is visible.
    It seems that IBM always talks about high security, but does not live their own word?

    I am writing to inquire about the progress of our request to enable TLS 1.3 support in the PCOMM client. As you may recall, we initiated this request approximately two years ago, and we are eagerly awaiting an update on its status.

    Currently, our PCOMM version 14 does not offer TLS 1.3 support. It is crucial for us to have a PCOMM client that can seamlessly integrate with the TLS 1.3 encryption standard.

    We should be able to deliver this within a year.
    This also depends on the Windows 10 official build that supports TLS 1.3.
