LEGACY PROTOCOL

We implemented the old version 6 protocol in order to ensure a smooth transition with as less friction as possible. We tried to keep breaking changes to a minimum and all are clearly pointed out in this chapter.

NOTE: We highly encurage you to use the new WATCHOUT protocol for new projects.

Please refer to the original version 6 documentation for a detailed listing of available commands.

DISPLAY COMPUTERS

You can control your version 7 system like controlling the WATCHMAKER in version 6. The new service Operative acts like a version 6 system and is automatically started alongside the Director

MAIN TIMELINE

In WATCHOUT 7 the concept of a Main Timline as been omitted. All timelines are treated equally. Commands previously controlling the main timline now look for a timeline called "Main Timeline". If you are using these commands make sure a timeline with this name exists.

NOTE: Timelines called "Main Timeline" are now also included in the list of auxiliary timelines.
