Upgrade and Compatibility Information

NS 2.75.00.17 is binary compatible with 2.70.*, with the following exceptions:

To address NS-237, the inet_pton() and inet_ntop() support was changed from built-time, #define replacements of SlNetUtil_inetNtop() and SlNetUtil_inetPton(), to actual function implementations. This is source compatible, meaning users will not have to modify any sources because of this change. But it is not build compatible, meaning users will have to rebuild sources that use these services to benefit from the change. Failure to rebuild means libraries using these services will continue to have direct references to the SlNetUtil_ APIs, and will continue to not have errno set on failures.

If updating from a previous version of NS, see the changelog for potential upgrade and compatibility information.

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.
