Upgrade and Compatibility Information
The Network Services Modules have been “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.

Known Issues
- The Network Services Component is still fairly new, and there remains an expectation that issues will be found requiring minor API evolutions in the next few releases before stabilizing. We don’t expect significant changes, but it is likely there may be a few compatibility breaks. Please report issues on the TI E2E forums.
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.
