Catégorie:Patrius Backward Compatibility 4.14

Introduction

A specific backward compatibility mechanism is implemented in PATRIUS allowing by default to have a backward compatibility with PATRIUS version 4.12 propagation models and/or optimisation algorithms. If any action is provided by the user, the backward compatibility is activated by default in PATRIUS : this means that external users will see their code/functions working with some of the propagation models/optimisation algorithms of PATRIUS version 4.12.

Backward compatibility functionalities

Available options

Three options are available for users via the enum PatriusVersionCompatibility of the class PatriusConfiguration:

• OLD_MODELS : the user will use the propagation models and optimisation algorithms coded in PATRIUS version 4.12;
• MIXED_MODELS : the user will juste use propagation models coded in PATRIUS version 4.12 (no backward compatibility on optimisation algorithms);
• NEW_MODELS : no backward compatibility mechanism is used.

Backward compatibility for propagation models

As previously mentioned, types PatriusVersionCompatibility.OLD_MODELS or MIXED_MODELS allow to restore some of the propagation models/functionalities to the state of PATRIUS version 4.12 :

• ....

Backward compatibility for optimisation algorithms

How to set our own Patrius compatibility configuration

The class PatriusConfiguration contains a setter setPatriusCompatibilityMode(PatriusVersionCompatibility) that allows to switch our own configuration as a function of the user needs. A specific getter getPatriusCompatibilityMode allows to retrieve the used configuration at any moment if needed.
