Application Versioning

Last modified: 09 May 2023

Space is a constantly evolving product. The Space HTTP API also has to change to support the latest Space features. Despite these changes, the API remains backward-compatible – the latest API version supports all endpoints and parameters of previous versions. This means that in the case of Space Cloud, an application user won't face any compatibility problems – their Space instance is always up-to-date and uses the latest-possible API version.

However, this is different for Space On-Premises. Applications targeting the latest version of Space On-Premises might be incompatible with earlier versions. That's why application developers should explicitly declare the minimum version of Space On-Premises their application supports. If a Space On-Premises instance doesn't meet the version requirements, it won't allow installing such an application.
