More Info about V6 Changes

The following comment is made by Yuriy Dudko

(the bullets are added by me to make the points easier to read)

"From what I heard at DevCon'08 the most changed part of CAA APIs is related to working with CATDocument pointers.

1. Essentially CATDocument is gone in V6 and you have to replace it with so-called PLM triptych. That a large topic in itself, so I will not go into details here.
2. Then Product Structure APIs have been replaced completely with new APIs dealing with those PLM triptychs or PLM components (which I think is another name for PLM triptych).
3. CGM classes have been completely replaced with new GM classes (DS created tool for migrating CGM classes to GM classes).
4. Visualization framework has been split in many new frameworks.
5. There are some other minor changes, I beleive.

I think this should give you some idea about an impact on CAA V5 programmers. For more detail you will have to wait for V6 release. It should have complete migration documentation from what I glimpsed at DevCon. Hope this helps. "
