Backward compatibility
When it comes to client server compatibility in RavenDB there are two valid rules. Either:
- The server version is within the same Major and Minor range as the client version
OR
- The server version is greater than the client version
Some examples:
3.0
client will work with3.5
server since server is greater than client3.5
client will work with3.5
server since client and server are in the same Major and Minor range3.5.3785
client will work with3.5.3528
server since client and server are in the same Major and Minor range3.5
client will NOT work with3.0
server since client is greater than server3.0
client will NOT work with2.5
server since client is greater than server
Upgrading
To properly upgrade your applications and server, we advise you to upgrade the server first, then the clients. This way your applications will keep working as before, and you can update them one-by-one if needed.
