Summary

0000024: no backward compatibility

Description

I tried to compile, in omnet++ 4.0b8, some of my omnet++ projects which were created and compiled successfully using omnet++ 3.3 but started getting errors for member functions (such as 'cell', 'pdf', 'cdf') of the class cDoubleHistrogram. When I looked at the API reference, I noticed changes in the member functions' names and also in the class hierarchy. I have not gone through the manual of 4.0b8 yet and I have done a quick check after installing 4.0b8.

Is there any simple way to enable the backward compatibility?

Thanks.
-Lenin.

Notes
(0000064) andras (administrator) 2008-12-05 16:49	Indeed there are significant changes in the C++ API, NED files, ini files etc from 3.x to 4.0. In addition to implementing new features, we wanted to rectify some inconsistencies and design mistakes in earlier versions, and that was not possible with keeping full backwards compatibility. Existing models can be converted semi-automatically for 4.0; this is described in the migration guide: http://omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp40/migration/migration.html [^]
