    66This document contains a design for some software and file version handling strategies for FDO. The versions dealt by this document are:
    77
    8 • Version of FDO software[[br]]
    9 • FDO provider versions[[br]]
    10 • XML configuration file versions[[br]]
     8        • Version of FDO software[[br]]
     9        • FDO provider versions[[br]]
     10        • XML configuration file versions[[br]]
    1111
    1212In FDO 3.0, a number of issues arose regarding the handling of these versions. There were a number of concerns as to how these versions should be handled going forward. The main purpose of this design is to resolve these issues so that customers and client applications can easily upgrade to new FDO software releases as they become available.

    107106A provider is considered to be binary-compatible with the current FDO if the specified parts of the provider's !FeatureDataObjectsVersion match those of the current version of FDO. For example, if the !FeatureDataObjectsVersion has 2 parts, then these must match the 1st 2 parts of the current FDO's version. The following table provides some concrete examples:

    169125The 4th example is for illustration and would not likely happen in the real world. It is unlikely that versions as similar as 3.1.0.1 and 3.1.0.2 would be incompatible.
