Managing Updates and Library Versions

Library Versions and Dependencies

Handle Minor Library Updates

Handle New Library Releases or Major Updates

Versions for pluggable libraries and pluggable views affect the dependencies between libraries and the dependencies for views and the apps that include those views. See Library Versions and Dependencies for an overview of these interactions.

There are two significantly different cases for how you manage updates to pluggable libraries or pluggable views and their versions:

Minor, backwards-compatible updates to an existing library or view.

With backwards-compatible fixes, you can update the existing library or view. For instructions and examples, see:

Increment an Existing Library Version

Overwrite an Existing Library

Upgrades to new releases for third-party libraries or major updates to an existing pluggable library or pluggable view.

With updates that are not backwards compatible or updates where you want to manage the upgrade process, you must import the updated library with a new library ID. See Handle New Library Releases or Major Updates for instructions.
