Upgrade and Compatibility Information

The Network Services Modules are being “rebooted” to improve alignment across TI’s various networking stacks. As a result, NS 2.x is completely incompatible with NS 1.x releases, and there are currently gaps between the features available in NS 1.x and 2.x.

We will be continuing to add features to NS 2.x, including HTTP clients and others, using the portable SlNetSock APIs so consistent APIs and features will be available across the family of TI devices.

Specific compatibility notes from NS 2.00:

Versioning

All releases have 4 segment versions (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, alpha/EA, beta, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 2.10.00.00_eng).

This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and bb is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.

To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory.

Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
