Compatibility question

[mowgli]

I'm assuming that a Wire patch compiled with version 7.22.5 will work with previous iterations of 7.22
Is that the case?

[Zoltán]

Yes, micro versions should not change nodes.
7.22.5 : Major 7, minor 22, micro 5

i have a additional question.

When you build a node in 7.20 compile (cwires) it and load it in a newer version, do the nodes still update to the new version? Or is a compiled (cwires) patch locked to its version?

[Zoltán]

If you compile it so it can be edited, the nodes will update when you edit them in Wire if there is a newer node version.

Node conversions also happen in the background with non editable patches on load, because the old node versions don't ship with the new app release. But this should be seamless and not noticable to the user.
The changes however are not stored in the compiled patch file.
