Release Notes

The main change in this version of TASLink (SDK) is compatibility with TASBooks v3 (released December 2011).

For v3, TAS made alterations to important database tables while changing table indexes. The effect is TASLink (SDK) v2.10 breaks binary compatibility with previous versions.

We try very hard to prevent this - on this occasion it is unavoidable.

If you will be using TASBooks v3 datasets please check your code is not affected by the Changes detailed below.
