Semantic versioning is being used, that means:
- In case of a breaking change, the major version will be changed
- Changes in the minor version are optional additions (new fields in existing messages or new message types)
The version of the Common Payload API is in principle independent of the IE Platform and IE App versions. That means, when there are no changes for a new Industrial Edge release, there won’t be a new API version. This also means that a connector might still implement according to an older version of the API.
