Upgrade and Compatibility Information
NDK 3.60 is mostly compatible with 3.50, with the following exceptions:
- To address NDK-322, the following functions have been renamed:
NDK_getsockctx()becameNDK_getSockCtx(), andNDK_RegisterHook()becameNDK_registerHook(). We expect very few users will be impacted, as both of these functions were introduced in NDK 3.50. - For SimpleLink devices, the SysConfig feature is still in ‘preview’ and the NDK is not yet ensuring compatibility from release to release. Some NDK configuration variables have changed, and as a result, existing .syscfg scripts that configure the NDK may not load, and users may have to restart from an existing example.
If updating from a previous version of NDK, see the changelog for potential upgrade and compatibility information.
A few notable feature deprecation alerts:
- The NDK’s HTTP/1.0 Server will be removed in a future release, likely in early 2019. The Network Services Component is now providing a much more fully featured HTTP/1.1 Server, which is recommended for new development. Related scripts/tools (e.g. ti/ndk/tools/binsrc) are also deprecated and are planned for removal.
- The host executables provided in ti/ndk/winapps are also deprecated. These scripts do not provide significant value, and are also planned for removal in a future release, likely in early 2019.
Host Support
- Windows
- Linux
- Mac

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. 3.40.00.00_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.
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
