Because upgrading agents in this sort of environment relies heavily on protocol compatibility, this page makes it clear on our promise to keeping different Serf versions compatible with each other.</p> <p>We promise that every subsequent release of Serf will remain backwards compatible with <em>at least</em> one prior version. Concretely: version 0.5 can speak to 0.4 (and vice versa), but may not be able to speak to 0.1.</p> <p>The backwards compatibility must be explicitly enabled: Serf agents by default will speak the latest protocol, but can be configured to speak earlier ones. If speaking an earlier protocol, <em>new features may not be available</em>. The ability for an agent to speak an earlier protocol is only so that they can be upgraded without cluster disruption.</p> <p>This compatibility guarantee makes it possible to upgrade Serf agents one at a time, one version at a time. For more details on the specifics of upgrading, see the <a href="/docs/upgrading.html">upgrading page</a>.</p> <h2 id=toc_1>Protocol Compatibility Table</h2> <table class="table table-bordered table-striped"> <tr> <th>Version</th> <th>Protocol Compatibility</th> </tr> <tr> <td>0.1.X</td> <td>0</td> </tr> <tr> <td>0.2.X</td> <td>0, 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>0.3.X</td> <td>0, 1, 2 <span class="label label-info">see warning below</span></td> </tr> </table> <div class="alert alert-info"> <p> <strong>Warning: </strong> Version 0.3 introduces support for dynamic ports, all
