Application JSON {#application-json-5.8}

The passDependencies key has been removed from the top level in .app.json files and can instead be specified for each entry under:

• stmSchedules as well as
• stmExternalRunnables.

Each external runnable under the stmExternalRunnables key must specify the new required key processorTypes which may be either ["CPU"] or ["GPU"].

Port Descriptor {#port-descriptor-5.8}

The API dw::framework::isValidPort() previously accepted either a std::size_t portID or a StringView identifier argument. The API has been split into two functions which include the type as part of their name:

• dw::framework::isValidPortIndex(std::size_t portID)
• dw::framework::isValidPortIdentifier(StringView identifier)
