Backward compatibility
We try to develop and maintain our API in a way that preserves its compatibility with the existing applications. Changes in Data SDK for C++ are greatly influenced by the Data API development. Data API introduces breaking changes 6 months in advance. Therefore, you may need to migrate to a new version of Data SDK for C++ every half a year.
For more information on Data API, see its Developer Guide and API Reference.
When new API is introduced in Data SDK for C++, the old one is not deleted straight away. The standard API deprecation time is 6 months. It gives you time to switch to new code. However, we do not provide ABI backward compatibility.
Learn more about deprecated methods, functions, and parameters in the Data SDK for C++ API Reference and changelog.
For more information on Data SDK for C++, see our Developer Guide.
