Compatibility

wolfino

Hello,

I have wrote an app for the RW 5.10. Now I need to use this app also for RW 5.09 and RW 5.08. My question is: Is it going to work? Is an app written in version 5.10 compatible with

RW 5.08 and RW 5.09? And if not then is it possible to recompile the the app from the same project just changing the references? As far as I know the versions 5.08 and 5.09 requires licence so do i have to install them and get the licence?

Hi,

 

      I think it is not going to work in the older versions.

Hi Wolfino,

I have devoloped an application with Flex Pendant SDK 5.10 and it is already work on RW 5.08 system.

Hi,

 

    Thats great. But according to my knowledge, if you are not using any new functions which is released with 5.10 and above releases , then it will work. Instead if you use any new functions and try to work with older version, surely it will throw error message becuase the function is unknown for the older version.

Dear Wolfino,

You do not specify which SDK you are using.

If it is the FPSDK then there are several incompatabilities between 5.08, 5.09 and 5.10 so then you would need licenses for 5.08 and 5.09 and rebuild the projects to be sure.

If it is the PCSDK then the breaking changes are on the PC side so then as long as you distribute the app with all files and install the 5.10 Robot Communication Runtime on the target machines you should be fine.

 Note that just as Charon points out FPSDK applications might still work over versions but there is no guarantee and no support beyond what the release notes mention.

 

There should also be some details about this in the RAB 5.10 Release notes so read them carefully.

Hello,

Iam using FPSDK. And according the sdk reference documentation it seems iam using no new functionality. So I am going to give it a try and I'll see...
