Re: [rules-users] Compatibility of serialized KnowledgePackages?

Hi all,
does anyone know if KnowledgePackages which have been compiled and
serialized using Drools 5.0.1 can be de-serialized with 5.1.1 or 5.2.0.CR1?
What about the other way round, serializing with a more recent version
and de-serializing with an older version?
Are there any obstacles here due to a change in internal representation
of KnowledgePackages between versions, or is the serialized format
"designed" to be an exchange format even between versions?
Serialised
Packages are treated as just a "cache" as they can be
re-constituted from .drl. We do not guarantee any compatability between
any different releases.
Longer term we want to look into achieving something that provides
pre-compilation while also compatability across versions, but the
codebase needs a lot of refactoring to make that easy to do.

Kind regards
