Seeking clarification on 11gXE database compatibility with APEX

krisscoJan 6 2021

In a previous question, it was pointed out to me that 11gXE is not compatible with APEX 19.2. (yes I still support some old XE databases which can't be upgraded).
For reference, 19.1 requirements states "Oracle Application Express release 19.1 requires an Oracle Database release 11.2.0.4 or later, including Enterprise Edition and Express Edition (Oracle Database XE)."
19.2 requirements explicitly states which XE version is compatible "Oracle Application Express release 19.2 requires an Oracle Database release 11.2.0.4 or later, including Enterprise Edition and Express Edition (Oracle Database 18c XE)."
In reviewing the release notes for 20.2 the XE version has been removed "Oracle Application Express release 20.2 requires an Oracle Database release 11.2.0.4 or later. Application Express runs on all database editions, including Enterprise Edition (EE), Standard Edition (SE) and Express Edition (XE). Oracle Application Express can be installed in single-instance database and in Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) database."

Does this mean APEX 20.2 will work with 11gXE whereas 19.2 had issues?

Thanks in advance!
