GDC support consolidates on the most recent version
Starting with Genero 5.00, the most recent version of the Genero Desktop Client will be the only supported version. It will work with all supported versions of FGLGWS and the GAS. Any bug fixes or feature additions will occur in this version only; older versions will no longer be maintained. For more information, see GDC 5.00 and Genero compatibility.
GDC rendering depends on the DVM version
For applications running on FGLGWS 3.21, GDC uses native rendering. For applications running on FGLGWS 4.01 or greater, the GDC uses Universal Rendering. For information on when the GDC uses Universal Rendering versus native rendering, see GDC 5.00 and Genero compatibility.
