Latest Prism release includes Tolk

[diamondStar35]

Hello.

I am just a little bit confused about this, so sorry if this is kinda annoying to ask.

In the previous versions of Prism it was one single library (.dll/.so) etc.

Now in the latest release v0.14.0, I see that all platform directories contain Prism + additional Tolk library. For example "tolk.dll" on Windows. It's a little bit confusing because I didn't see a change talking about using Tolk with Prism though, or maybe I have downloaded the wrong asset? I downloaded the Prism SDK since that's what I would normally use because it contains all platform libraries in one compressed file.

Am I required to ship the new tolk library with my application that uses Prism starting from now?

Regards.

Hi there,

No, Tolk is not at all required for Prism to function. The Tolk library shipped with Prism is (not) the official Tolk, but is a shim around the Tolk API for migrating from Tolk to Prism in scenarios where you do not have the source code to upgrade to Prism or where you are not ready to make the migration. The caveats are that the shim does not support the full Prism API and is heavily restricted in what it is capable of actually doing.
