ReadySuite 8.5 Update 1 Released

April 20, 2026

ReadySuite 8.5.1 is released and now available to download. We recommend all customers using previous versions update to this release to benefit from performance improvements and overall application stability.

This release combines several hotfixes into a single version, with a focus on how chat data sources are parsed into Chat Projects. Google Takeout and Slack eDiscovery Export (JSON) data sources now use optimized lookups for threaded replies, message edits, quoted-message metadata, and participant mapping. These data sources also see significantly reduced memory usage during import.

We've also published new guidance on our System Requirements page covering memory recommendations for Chat Projects.
