MicroOCA compliance #8 - Follow Up Question about OcaControlNetwork

[dbaudio-sfe]

Hello!

in issue #8 the compliance test for MicroOCA was addressed and most issues were resolved.

Testing against the latest SW now will only result in one error:

call: Aes70CompliancyTestTool.exe -d "name" -s tcp -v AES70-2018

My understanding from the previous issues' dicussion ist, that micro OCA uses an old way to handle control messages and therefore does not provide this object.
Another indicatino would be the Warning about deprecation.

So can we say that MicroOCA is still fully functional and just does it in an old-fashioned way?
Are there any issues to be expected when using the device with a recent Oca Controller? Or is alle funcitonality provided fully backward compatible?

Are there any plans to update MicroOCA to the new standard? Or any good reasons to do so?

Best regards,

Sebastian
