Upgrading from v0.2.2 to v0.2.3 — User Guide
This page is for users who deploy and operate the SharwAPI host, covering what to expect when upgrading from v0.2.2 to v0.2.3.
v0.2.3 contains no breaking changes. Simply replace the host binary to complete the upgrade — no changes to existing plugins are required.
If you are also a plugin developer, see the Developer Migration Guide.
Breaking Changes
None.
Upgrade Steps
- Replace the old host executable with the new one
- Start the host normally — no further action needed
New Capabilities
After upgrading, the plugins/ directory additionally supports the following two plugin formats:
| Format | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Directory | plugins/MyPlugin/ | A folder containing the DLL and its dependencies |
| .sharw package | plugins/MyPlugin.sharw | A single-file ZIP archive |
Existing plugins do not need to be moved or reformatted — all formats coexist in the same plugins/ directory.
