What's changing?
We’ve updated the runtime requirements of some of our
client libraries. Make sure to update your setup to keep your application compatible and secure.
Which libraries are affected?
.NET
As
announced in 2014, the .NET client library requires a minimum of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or Mono version 3.2.8.
Java
As
announced in 2014, the Java client library now requires Java 1.6 or higher.
Perl
- With the release of version 4.0.0 of the AdWords API Perl client library, the minimum version supported is Perl version 5.14.
- AdWords API Perl client library version 3.5.0 supports Perl 5.8 and will continue to be supported until September with critical bug fixes only.
We updated the minimum required Perl version to 5.14 because the Perl community no longer officially supports the older versions of the language, and our client library relies on CPAN modules that no longer exist for older versions of Perl. With the installation of client library version 4.0.0, please make sure you use Perl 5.14 or newer on your system.
PHP
As
announced in 2014, the PHP client library now requires PHP 5.3 or higher.
Python
Depending on whether you’re using Python 2 or 3, the Python client library has differing minimum requirements:
- Python 2: Requires Python 2.7.9 or higher because this is the earliest version supporting SSL certificate validation.
- Python 3: Requires Python 3.4 or higher for compatibility with the oauth2client dependency.
Ruby
The Ruby client library has dropped support for Ruby versions 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0, and we will no longer be fixing bugs specifically for those versions.
If you have any question or concerns, visit us on the forums (
