The SourceForge Enterprise Edition 4.x and CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.x APIs
(including Service Pack updates) are fully compatible with CollabNet
TeamForge
. Applications developed
using these earlier APIs will continue to function after you upgrade to CollabNet
TeamForge
.
A release of CollabNet
TeamForge may be accompanied
by updates to the API. These changes are always backwards compatible with earlier
versions of the API. However, the calls from the different API versions are not
interchangeable.
- For updates and patch releases, existing methods are incremented, not overwritten.
For example, if an update is made to the createDocument method, it
is reflected in a new method createDocument1. You do not have to update your
existing applications to reflect a new API with any Service Pack or Hot Fix release.
- For a major CollabNet
TeamForge release, such as
this 5.2 release, updates are merged into a new API version. At this point, if you
want to use the new API calls, you must update your existing applications.
