Standard-mode Snaps

SOAP Snap Pack uses the 4.23 GA version (main7430)

Due to an upgrade to the CXF library, SOAP Execute Snap that uses the CXF client targeting SOAP 1.2 endpoints can fail. We also observe increased thread counts related to this upgrade. Hence, during the 4.24 auto-upgrade on Mar 20, 2021, we did not update the SOAP Snap Pack and are moving the stable version for all your Orgs to main7430 (4.23 GA) instead of main8556 (4.24 GA). This should not impact your existing Pipelines. 

You can also use SOAP Snap Pack version 423patches7441 that was deployed as 4.23 dot release on Dec 18, 2020, if needed.
