Versions

Fed-BioMed stores and checks version numbers for several of its components. The semantics of the versions are as follows:

  • different major version: incompatibility that results in halting the execution immediately
  • different minor or micro version: backward compatibility, provide a warning message if versions are different

This page tracks the version changes for each component, to provide further information when incompatibilities are detected.

Configuration files

  • researcher configuration file
  • node configuration file
  • node state
  • researcher breakpoint
  • messaging protocol

Note that due to the two-sided nature of the communication, every change to the messaging protocol is equivalent to a major change.

Messaging protocol incompatible versions

In case of version mismatch, the only solution is to upgrade the software to have the same version on researcher and all nodes.
