Target different versions of HOT

Hi all,

Is it possible to have two different versions of Handsontable in a project, and refer to it by version when instantiating?

Basically we are looking to upgrade, but don’t want to do all grids in the project at once so we can test the compatibility in relative safety before committing to the upgrade

Many thanks

Hi @escape1979uk

sorry, but there is no control over license from the instance level.

Hi Aleksandra,

Thanks for the quick reply
Maybe this would be a nice feature to have, as our upgrade was from quite an ancient version to 2.0CE and there doesn’t appear to be a side by side comparison with a list of breaking changes

If we could run 2.0CE in the page that needed it, and the 0.1x.x version untouched in the other pages, it would increase confidence in testing and deploying

In this case I would recommend to test it before going into production (for example on a separate branch if you use git). The release notes are here https://docs.handsontable.com/pro/3.0.0/tutorial-release-notes.html but if you have skipped some versions checking the difference between them can be tedious. We always mention which version prorivides breaking changes but now - most of them are doing it.

Yes indeed, that is what we do, however upgrading multiple tables by several versions creates an increased regression test burden

Its not the end of the world :slight_smile:

If you’d have any issues while upgrading your app let me know. I can help you to test it

I believe that we can close this issue as there are no updates for a long time.
