Wolfram Language Paclet Repository minimum version?

Posted 3 years ago

I'm thinking of moving my EcoEvo package to the Wolfram Language Paclet Repository. This page says that Mathematica v13.0 is required for development, but I'm interested in the minimum version for users. What is the oldest version of Mathematica that WLPR supports for users?

Paclets in the WLPR need to have PacletInfo files written in the

PacletObject[<| Name->"xxxx"... |>]

style instead of the older Paclet[Name->"xxxx"] style. I don't think that PacletObject is supported in versions by 12.0 and earlier version. So even though you could look at the ResourceObject metadata, find the CloudObject containing the .paclet file and use PacletManager`PacletInstall on that file, I don't think it would work.

Thanks for the info Bob! I keep an old version of 10.0.2 around for testing backwards compatibility and it usually presents some surprises.

Can WLPR packages be installed by users of older versions through some other mechanism, or would I be leaving <12.1 users behind?
