Documentation guidence

[treed]

As I'm delving farther into nuBuilder, I'm finding that there are php and java functions documented in older versions that are not in the documentation for Forte. Is this an indication that these functions are being depreciated and that they should be avoided?

Can you give an example?

For myself and others who are making important development decisions, I'm looking for some general guidance.

https://wiki.nubuilder.cloud/index.php/PHP lists 23 functions
https://wiki.nubuilder.net/nubuilderv3/ ... _Functions lists 48 functions

treed,

I would treat version 3 and 4 as completely different software.

The only thing exactly the same between the two is the way Report templates are stored as JSON.

Which means Reports created with 3 CAN be ported to 4.

4.5 Is the same as 4 but improved. That's what I'm using for my clients.

For those still on v4, important fixes and backports are available in my v4 update repo. A normal v4 report could be nearly 2MB but with subsetting backport it will become just 10 KB.

Some functions documented under v.3 still exist under v.4. But they are not listed in the documentation because some of them are mainly used internally by nuBuilder.
E.g. db_is_auto_id()
