Upgrade and Compatibility Information
No known compatibility breaks.
Known Limitations
The following scenarios have limited test coverage in the RCL module tests:
- Stress testing or throughput testing of connection
- Testing of adding buffers to the radio while it is running
- The testing of fields in the
statsstructures
The SW has the following limitations:
- Advertising Extensions content is alpha quality. There will be no support provided for integration of these alpha APIs.
Versioning
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 b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
