in RFA

Hi, it may be a silly question but one of our on-boarding client is asking how frequent

RFA8_NET120_x64.dll is upgraded to expect their workload in future.

I don't think we have such detailed road map in DLLs, but may I know its history of major upgrades?

    Hi @naoto.tatemichi

    As RFA is now considered a Feature Complete API, we do not plan to release any major upgrades in the future.

    You can expect a new minor version upgrades to be issued as

    • occasional maintenance releases to address any bugs reported
    • to offer support for newer compiler / os version as deemed necessary

    To get an idea of release versions over the past few years, please refer to the download page and check the dates for the 'LATEST VERSIONS' and 'OLDER VERSIONS'

    One thing they should do is use downloaded data dictionary files, rather than local dictionary files - to future proof their app against any dictionary changes - which are issued a few times a year. The data dictionaries are downloaded by requesting them programmatically from the server - and this technique is demonstrated in the RFA.NET Consumer example and described in this RFA C++ Tutorial
