Downloads: what works and what is retired

Nothing from the original Rocon product line is actively maintained. Installers stay online for people repairing old machines, with a note on what to use

Still working

Nothing from the original product line is actively maintained. Installers are kept for people repairing old machines, at their own risk.

Retired

What to use instead

For dynamic DNS on a home connection: use the client built into your router, or run a maintained container on your home server. Both are someone else’s full-time job, which is the main advantage.

What to use instead

For the container route, the Docker documentation covers the basics, and the Cloudflare developer documentation covers the API-driven update pattern most people use to keep a hostname pointed at a changing address.

Reference material

Where a review discusses a published standard or a vendor API, we work from the primary document rather than a secondary summary. For storefront data that means the vendor’s own Admin API reference; for real-time transport questions it means the governing specification, for example RFC 3550. If a document we cite has been superseded, tell us and we will correct the link.

How to read this page

“If a claim about a connector cannot be checked against the vendor’s own documentation, it belongs in a blog post, not in a review.” — our internal editing rule.

Everything on this page is written to be checkable. Where we cite a vendor’s API or a published standard, the link points at the primary document rather than a summary, so a reader can verify the claim without taking our word for it.

What is on this page

This page is reference material for Rocon Software Review: roughly 300 words of context, 2 primary-source links, and the specific limits of what we can tell you here.

Scope

The scope is deliberately narrow. It covers what the page title says and nothing adjacent, because a reference page that sprawls is a page nobody finishes. Three constraints apply: the material is checked at publication, re-checked quarterly, and corrected in place with a dated note when it goes stale.

How it is maintained

Two people maintain this page. Reviews are re-checked every 90 days against the vendor’s published pricing, and every correction is dated in the page body rather than silently applied.

Terms used on this page

A connector is a service that moves records between two systems on a schedule or on an event. A webhook is an HTTP callback that a system sends when something changes, rather than waiting to be polled. An item fulfilment is the record that says a physical shipment left the warehouse, and it is a different object from the sales order it belongs to.
