Hi,
As an AWE user, I receive the DSPC newsletter with the new AWE versions available but we lack precision about AWE versions, more specifically compatibility between AWE Core OS and AWE Designer versions. It is very common for new users/employees to simply download the latest available AWE Designer version on DSPC's website but it is very often not the same one that other colleagues use.
Not using just one AWE Designer version could be potentially risky. For example, I have made DSP layouts with the Designer version 6 years ago that are currently built and deployed to products with the Designer version 8. I would really like to solve that by having one version per platform for example, both for the Designer and the Core OS. I can only do that if I know the compatibilities between the AWECoreOS we have installed on our platforms and the AWE Designer versions I can download. Does this compatibility list exist somewhere? If not, would it be possible to add it to the release notes you send out? It would greatly help me and my colleagues maintain up-to-date code with less risk to use outdated or non-compatible modules.
That being said, it would also be a big help to be able to download older versions of the AWE Designer on the DSPC website in case we are not using the latest version as it’s often the case.
Best,
GSUC
