+
The additional command `oc new-app`, for example, makes it easier to get new applications started using existing source code or pre-built images. Similarly, the additional command `oc new-project` makes it easier to start a project that you can switch to as your default.

[IMPORTANT]
====
If you installed an earlier version of the `oc` binary, you cannot use it to complete all of the commands in {product-title} {product-version}. If you want the latest features, you must download and install the latest version of the `oc` binary corresponding to your {product-title} server version.
====

Non-security API changes involve, at minimum, two minor releases (4.1 to 4.2 to 4.3, for example) to allow older `oc` binaries to update. Using new capabilities might require newer `oc` binaries. A 4.3 server might have additional capabilities that a 4.2 `oc` binary cannot use and a 4.3 `oc` binary might have additional capabilities that are unsupported by a 4.2 server.

== The kubectl binary

The `kubectl` binary is provided as a means to support existing workflows and scripts for new {product-title} users coming from a standard Kubernetes environment, or for those who prefer to use the `kubectl` CLI. Existing users of `kubectl` can continue to use the binary to interact with Kubernetes primitives, with no changes required to the {product-title} cluster.
