The Java client has been enhance to provide SWIFT-Z support with version 2.0.0.398 on 30. May 2018.
Meanwhile there has been a single bugfix where Input in some fields was not possible on 14 June 2018 with version 2.0.0.399
The TradeDesign HTML client is preconfigured per customer. Therefore there is no generic version definable.
Any HTML client version starting with 3.0.217 is supporting the necessary SWIFT-Z features.
The TradeDesign HTML5 client has been developed with the necessary support of SWIFT-Z in scope from the very beginning.
The only known dependency is the introduced support of the date expansion of entered 2 digit years according to the SWIFT standard wich was introduced on 2018-03-20 with version 1.0.1.15 of the HTML5 client.
2-digit years in dates are expanded with the split on 79/80 in Swift. The original split in DOKA-NG was based on 49/50.
As this is a pure handling support it is up to the decission of the bank to take that upgrade.
