Upgrade Guides¶
Compatibility Policy¶
Slick requires Scala 2.10 or 2.11. (For Scala 2.9 please use ScalaQuery, the predecessor of Slick).
Slick version numbers consist of an epoch, a major and minor version, and possibly a qualifier (for milestone, RC and SNAPSHOT versions).
For release versions (i.e. versions without a qualifier), backward binary compatibility is guaranteed between releases with the same epoch and major version (e.g. you could use 2.1.2 as a drop-in relacement for 2.1.0 but not for 2.0.0). Slick Extensions requires at least the same minor version of Slick (e.g. Slick Extensions 2.1.2 can be used with Slick 2.1.2 but not with Slick 2.1.1). Binary compatibility is not preserved for slick-codegen, which is generally used at compile-time.
We do not guarantee source compatibility but we try to preserve it within the same major release. Upgrading to a new major release may require some changes to your sources. We generally deprecate old features and keep them around for a full major release cycle (i.e. features which become deprecated in 2.1.0 will not be removed before 2.2.0) but this is not possible for all kinds of changes.
Release candidates have the same compatibility guarantees as the final versions to which they lead. There are no compatibility guarantees whatsoever for milestones and snapshots.
Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1¶
This section describes the changes that are needed when upgrading from Slick 3.0 to 3.1. If you are currently using an older version of Slick, please see the older Slick Manuals for details on other changes that may be required.
Deprecations¶
Most deprecated features from 3.0, including the old Invoker and Executor APIs and the package aliases for scala.slick were removed.
HikariCP¶
The HikariCP support for Slick was factored out into its own module with a non-optional dependency on HikariCP itself. This makes it easier to use the correct version of HikariCP (which does not have a well-defined binary compatibility policy) with Slick. See the section on dependencies for more information.
Due to packaging constraints imposed by OSGi, HikariCPJdbcDataSource was moved from package slick.jdbc to slick.jdbc.hikaricp.
