Before you upgrade to the latest version of the ReliaSoft API, review what's new and what has changed since the last version. The latest version may have introduced some code-breaking changes, requiring you to make changes to your code before upgrading. 


'''How to get the latest version of the ReliaSoft API object library file'''

The object library file is located in the folder where the ReliaSoft applications are installed. By default, this folder is at "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\ReliaSoft 2019". 

To get the latest version of the file, choose '''File > Help > Check for Updates''' or download the latest software update from [https://support.hbmprenscia.com HBM Prenscia Support Portal]. You may need to to update the library reference of your custom applications to point to the location of the object library file. For VBA applications, use the ReliaSoftAPI19.tlb file. For .NET applications, use the ReliaSoftAPI19.dll file.

===10.0.3===
Initial public release for Version 10 applications. 

'''Improved flexibility'''
:*Added all new classes and methods for accessing FMEA and related data from Xfmea, RCM++ and RBI.
:*Added several new methods in the Repository class to provide more options for manipulating Synthesis resources. The most significant of these is the ability to get a single resource from a Synthesis repository. You are no longer limited to using arrays to access a particular resource item. 

'''New features incorporated'''
:*Added new properties and enumerations in the cAction class to take advantage of the expanded action-tracking capabilities introduced in the latest version of the Synthesis platform. This includes action properties relevant to the project planner and Xfmea/RCM++/RBI test plans.
:*For all resource objects (e.g., cModel, cURD, cCrew, etc.), added a new set of properties for accessing the Synthesis identifiers fields in the platform.

'''Deprecations'''
:*The Repository class has been restructured to organize its growing number of members. All of its members are now organized into fields named after the object type they apply to. For example, the <code>Repository.GetAllModels()</code> method, which returns a cModel object, has been renamed to <code>Repository.Model.GetAllModels()</code>; similarly, the <code>Repository.ImportBlockSimXMLFile</code> method has been renamed to <code>Repository.BlockSim.ImportBlockSimXMLFile</code>, etc. The previous versions of the methods still exist so your code is not broken, but they are deprecated and may be removed in future versions of the API.
