We have a lot of hand-written control files with that version in isar
and isar-cip-core in addition. Any plans for addressing those as well?
Yes we will address.
If you have your own control file which is not generated by ISAR, we could update the
standards version manually via STANDARDS_VERSION variable.
If a control file generated by ISAR, then it automatically sets the standards version
based on the suite wise.
BTW, what is the concrete impact of not having a recent version? Missing
that from this description.
Will send V3 with the concrete reason for why we have this updated standards version.
Many thanks,
Srinu
