Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] DTP major version bump for Neon

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kaloyan,

No, a client that has compiled against your current version remains binary compatible with your new version.  No need to recompile or change their code.  They just can't run anymore unless they satisfy the highest BREE of all their requirements.  The version increment should reflect changes in the APIs and implementations.  I think a BREE change just implies a content change which implies a micro version increment.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi,

Does moving to Java 8 justify the bump of the major version? Many projects update their BREE without updating their major version.

Greetings,

DTP will soon contribute v2 to Neon aggregation stream. The current version is 1.12.1. The reason for the major version bump is the move to  requiring Java 8. All DTP plugins and features will get a major version bump.

 

I recommend all consuming projects to prepare for this ahead of time by relaxing the version ranges.

 

Thanks,
