Crowd Backward compability?

[David Forsman]

We run Confluence 3.4.1 and Jira 4.2.1 with Crowd 2.0.7.

We want to upgrade Crowd to latest, 2.5.1.

* Is Crowd backward compatible? I.e. will our current Jira and Confluence work fine with Crowd 2.5.1?

* Do I have to upgrade crowd client jar files in our old confluence & jira?

(I've started uppgrading Bamboo and Fisheye. They requiere a upgrade of Crowd - hence this situation. I'm not in a position to upgrade Jira and Confluence now.)

Check for compatibility

and

Make sure you perform the upgrade in a development environment first

Thanks. New Crowd seems to support old Confluence & Jira.

But - will a upgraded crowd requiere me to upgrade crowd-client-jar at our "old" confluence & jira?
