Re: [edk2] [uswg] Shell 2.0 and 2.1
The UEFI Shell 2.1 has been available for a long time. Any UDK release after Aug last year should have it.

Re: [edk2] [uswg] Shell 2.0 and 2.1
(note: I changed the edk2 mailing list) Daniel, A UEFI Shell 2.0 application will work fine in UEFI Shell 2.1 with no changes. To create/build a UEFI Shell 2.1 application would need to have a version of the UDK that has the updated protocol to get easy access to the new API’s that were added to the protocol. If you create a UEFI Shell 2.1 application AND you use a API in the protocol that is not in the 2.0 version of the protocol, you should check the version information in the protocol itself to make sure that the application will function on a UEFI Shell 2.0 system (even if that just generates an error). If you call the API that does not exist, you will certainly have undefined behavior. -Jaben From: u...@uefi.org [mailto:u...@uefi.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Samuelraj Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 9:40 AM To: uswg ; edk2-de...@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [uswg] Shell 2.0 and 2.1 Importance: High Hi, I assume that Shell 2.0 apps are expected to run fine in Shell 2.1.
