2. 9.1 is our stability branch and is based on the 9.0 code base. I'd use the 9.0 SDK for this branch. We don't release SDK's for every release we have but only when new revisions require it. All our 9.x SDK's are forward compatible (meaning 9.0 will work with all 9.x BIG-IP versions). If you want new features added in let's say 9.2, you'll need to upgrade to the 9.2.2 SDK. The new methods will be identified in the documentation with the "Introduced" tag stating which product release they were added in.

 

 

Hope this helps...
