Update Plugin Warning for Third Party Plugins

Article Number: 000001790 - Last Modified: Sep 21, 2011

Occasionally, if you are using a third-party plugin with FME, you may see a message indicating that the plug-in may be out of date.

Symptoms

Occasionally, if you are using a third-party plugin with FME, you may see a message similar to the following:

FME API version of module 'GINA' is '3.6 20090807', which is older than the current 
with FME internal API version '3.6 20101014'. An updated plug-in may be available from the 
provider.

Cause

This is a warning that the plugin you are using was compiled using an earlier version of FME.

Resolution

Generally, this is not a problem, since we do try to maintain backwards compatibilty as much as possible. However, it does mean that the plugin may not be using all the functionality presently available in FME, and you may want to contact your plugin provider to see if they have an updated version.
