Supported Platforms
===================
See the |RS| column in the
:link_connext_dds_pro_rn_up_one:`Table of Supported Platforms for Compiler-Dependent Products, in the RTI Connext Core Libraries Release Notes <#release_notes/PAMtable.htm#PAM_CompilerDependent>`.
|RS| can also be deployed as a C library linked into your application.
Compatibility
=============
For backward compatibility information between the current and previous
versions of |RS|, please see the *Migration Guide* on the
`RTI Community portal `_.
|RS| can be used to forward and transform data between applications built with
|CONNEXT|, as well as *RTI Data Distribution Service* 4.5[b-e], 4.4d,
4.3e, and 4.2e except as noted below.
- |RS| is not compatible with applications built with *RTI Data Distribution
Service* 4.5e and earlier releases when communicating over shared memory.
For more information, please see the Transport Compatibility section in the
*Migration Guide* on the `RTI Community portal
`_.
- Starting in |CONNEXT| 5.1.0, the default ``message_size_max`` for the
UDPv4, UDPv6, TCP, Secure WAN, and shared-memory transports changed to provide
better out-of-the-box performance. |RS| also uses the new value for
``message_size_max``. Consequently, |RS| is not out-of-the-box compatible
with applications running older versions of |CONNEXT|. Please see the
*RTI Connext DDS Core Libraries Release Notes* for instructions on how to
resolve this compatibility issue with older |CONNEXT| applications.
- The types of the remote administration and monitoring topics in 5.1.0 are not
compatible with 5.0.0. Therefore:
- The 5.0.0 *RTI Routing Service* shell, *RTI Admin Console* 5.0.0, and *RTI
Connext DDS* 5.0.0 user applications performing monitoring/administration
are not compatible with *RTI Routing Service* 5.1.0.
- The 5.1.0 *RTI Routing Service* shell, *RTI Admin Console* 5.1.0, and *RTI
Connext DDS* 5.1.0 user applications performing monitoring/administration
are not compatible with *RTI Routing Service* 5.0.0.
