Platform version change
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given the addition of a new API to support the Accounts feature, the platform version of Corda 4.3 has been bumped up from 4 to 5. This is to prevent CorDapps that use it being deployed onto nodes unable to host them. Note that the minimum platform version has not been changed - this means that older Corda nodes can still interoperate with Corda 4.3 nodes. Since the APIs added do not affect the wire protocol or have other zone-level implications, applications can take advantage of these new platform version 5 features even if the Corda 4.3 node is running on a network whose minimum platform version is 4.
For more information on platform version, please see :doc:`versioning`. For more details on upgrading a CorDapp to use platform version 5, please see :doc:`app-upgrade-notes`.

Any confidential identities registered using the old API will not be reflected in the new tables after migration to Corda 4.3. However, the standard APIs work with both old and new confidential identities tables. For this reason, we do not recommend the use of both old and new confidential identities APIs in the same deployment. The old confidential identities API will be deprecated in a future release.
