Develop in V8, Publish to V7 Production

Hi... Does anyone know if it's possible to develop in V8, grab the bsv and deploy it to a V7 production environment? I'm thinking the answer is yes, but want to be sure! Thank you very much...

Yes, it's working.
Like support said, in V8 just the Configuration Tool has changed.
BUT,
Support could confirm this again, after several builds had released.

I am currently developing in v8 and publishing to v7.

I'm pretty sure i asked support and they said it was ok.

We are certainly doing this happily in a development environment and it seems to be fine. We have not let clients access anything where the BSV is from V8 and the server is running under V7.1 but in a development environment it seems to be OK. Support did say the V8 server was exactly the same as the V7.1 server a number of times. I guess my fear has been there might be some kind of new data included in a V8 BSV that might upset a V7.1 server but we have no evidence of that (yet).

I just deployed V8 directly over the top of V7.1 and it did not miss a beat.

The changes needed for renaming the AwareIM folder are also identical.

All good.
