How do I know when the Metadata API version changes to a new one ?

Hi All,

 

I am generating the metadata api server url out of the partner api one, that I got from a Visual Force page. This works fine with a few replacements of the partner url string.

 

One thing that both server urls have is a version number, and the one for the metadata is not necessarily the same as the one for the partner api.

 

I am assuming that any org in salesforce uses the latest metadata api. Right ?

 

In that case how do we get to know when the metadata api version changes to a new one ? (one way is to look at the online manual which now says 19.0 and this works fine).

 

Thanks in advance.

See the "Backward Compatibility" section in 

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/sforce_api_quickstart_intro.htm#sforce_api_concepts_api_support_policy for a discussion of API version.

 

Each release increments the API version. The Metadata API version is the same as the API version used for SOAP and Bulk APIs.

 

Spring '10 release was version 18.0

Summer '10 release is version 19.0
