What is the difference between JMP9 and JMP14?

alvin — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 20:45:01 GMT

I have been using JMP9 for quite sometime, there is an opportunity to upgrade to JMP14.

What are the differences between these 2 versions?

Trying to search but there are no results returned here...

I'm not sure if there is any single list for differences between two versions, but you can see new features and release notes for different versions from here:

As an (ex) developer, it becomes a blur over a repeating 18-month development cycle, but I know a lot of bugs were fixed and platforms like Text Explorer added (a lot of others too, but I was involved with that one...and I'm not sure which release it first appeared in.) Many platforms get new features, and many JSL functions get added. And other things; I know there has been a push to improve error messages, for example.

The list @jthi points at is the best resource.

It is possible you'll find a script that ran in 9 that no longer runs in 14, but those are fairly rare and tech support (or this forum) can help you with those. That mostly happens when a breaking change has to be made to make JMP better: more consistent, easier to understand.

I'd encourage upgrading because the tech support folks are going to be most familiar with more recent versions.

In a pathetic attempt to inject some humor into this discussion, I am compelled to write that the difference between JMP9 and JMP14 is five...

That put a smile on my face though. Not that pathetic I would say!
