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.
