Upgrade and Compatibility Information
This ti.mas.vppu version is compatible with the last released ti.mas.vppu version. To reflect the same the compatibility key has been chnaged from 6.0.0.1 -> 6.0.0.2.
Please note that the package compatibility keys are independent of XDC product release numbers.
Package compatibility keys are intended to:
- Enable tooling to identify incompatibilities between components, and
- Convey a level of compatibility between different releases to set end user expectations.
Package compatibility keys are composed of 4 comma-delimited numbers - M, S, R, P - where:
- M = Major - A difference in M indicates a break in compatibility. The package consumer is required to re-write its source code in order to use the package.
- S = Source - A difference in S indicates source compatibility. The package consumer’s source code doesn't require change, but does require a recompile.
- R = Radix - A difference in R indicates an introduction of new features, but compatibility with previous interfaces is not broken. If libraries are provided by the package, an application must re-link with the new libraries, but is not required to recompile its source.
- P = Patch - A difference in P indicates that only bugs have been fixed in the latest package and no new features have been introduced. If libraries are provided by the package, an application must re-link with the new libraries, but is not required to recompile its source.
