rebuild apps ready for CV1

Please correct me if I am wrong. My understanding is after SDK 5.0, it is not necessary to rebuild applications with the latest SDK since they are getting updates through DLL.

If I am correct and facing CV1, is it any real advantage to recompile apps, even if they were developed under SDK 5.0 and Unity 5 and they are working smoothly?

Unless there are interesting new features to use, I can not see the point to do it, which would be a great thing for lazy people like me.

    No, that is not 100% true. While the DLL model certainly makes backwards compatibility easier, it's not a magic bullet. Especially right now while the software and drivers are going through significant upgrades and changes (for example, new features that are core to the rendering pipeline).

    Because of this, developers should still plan to update their applications with new runtime/SDK releases. Once we get to version 1.0 of the SDK, then the API should not be changing and only minor new features or bug patches would be released. Prior to that point, you will have to update.
