4 Compatibility and Limitations 4.1 Compatibility All Trufa components must maintain the same revision level. Therefore, all Trufa client access points need to be updated as soon as the Trufa Server is updated. The update normally happens automatically as soon as the new versions are available. 4.2 Limitations Trufa RDS will be installed, configured and executed by Trufa personnel. Depending on your starting point the usage of Trufa RDS might require a migration from the earlier Trufa Data Collector to the new procedure. Trufa will approach all customers in question in order to facilitate this migration. The Dependency Wheel in Drivers doesn t render correctly in Safari. But it is workable.
