Right the JFBConnect graph calls are set to v11.0. Facebook will automatically upgrade the call to a newer version when that is deprecated. Looking through changelogs of graph versions, there shouldn't be any breaking changes to the JFBC functionality. I have to doublecheck the messenger chat widget more thoroughly though.

Hi Mel, 
"...Facebook will automatically upgrade the call to a newer version when that is deprecated..." = Are you sure ?

I'm asking because as you can see, "automatically" (no action from my part), I found my two FB Api fields settings as "blank" and if I open the dropdown menu I just have the v13 / v14 option to select... I add an image for you
I suppose it is blank because FB automatically update my API to a newer version.

Here a useful link of the APIs Changelogs: developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog?locale=en_US
Waiting news from you, thanks for help on understanding...

When the API request is performed, if a lower version is used than what is supported, FB will bump up the request to the appropriate version. FB does not change your application setting like you've mentioned. That setting is for you to force a version instead of allowing FB to do it or using the version passed in.

Hi Mel,
"...When the API request is performed, if a lower version is used than what is supported, FB will bump up the request to the appropriate version...." = Many thanks for the explications, I'm really not used to those dynamics and it is the first time we see the two FB API fields setted as "blank".

Anyway, Please, Can you confirm us:
1 - Is last JFBC 9.0.197 fully compatible with Facebook API 13.0 version ?
2 - Is last JFBC 9.0.197 fully compatible with Facebook API 14.0 version ?

Yes, all JFBConnect functionality is compatible with API v12+.

If you are adding your own functionality, you can use whichever API version you choose to use.

I hope that helps,
Alex
