Schema changes in patch versions?

[MaximilianFranz]

Hey all,

we've noticed that in the results returned from ResultTables.LinesSupportForces the key of node_no was changed to node_no from node_number in a recent patch update of the RFEM 6.07 Webervice server.

This broke our scripts and took quite some time to figure out.

Where can we read up on such changes? And shouldn't breaking API changes be limited to major and minor versions?

Thanks already,
Max

Hello,

we also found out some time ago (June 2024 - not sure about patch program version) that the key of comment column in ResultTables.MembersLocalDeformations was changed from section to specification. We had a hard time figuring out the cause of problems. After that, we disabled automatic updates to make sure the code corresponds with result tables, but that's not an ideal solution.

I agree that these breaking changes of RFEM program should be listed somewhere.
