Couple questions:
1. Will older Derby remote clients still work unchanged or will they need the
new 10.15 JAR files?
Older remote clients should work unchanged--provided that they really
are running remotely in their own process. Older remote clients will NOT
need the 10.15 jars.
2. Any database conversion required to go from older version to 10.15?
No changes have been made to persistent structures. The default soft
upgrade still works, allowing you to revert to using your previous
release if you encounter problems.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Derby 10.15.1.3 released
The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.15.1.3.
Apache Derby is a sub-project of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure Java
relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and JDBC
standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to work with.
Derby 10.15.1.3 can be obtained from the Derby download site:
https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.apache.org%2Fderby%2Fderby_downloads.html&data=02%7C01%7C%7C407e1bbc71464a7d644408d6a67bee31%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636879448532636285&sdata=IKQbQvYGxi2fGKb8AsWFV%2BXexGT2LHj%2BatUS%2BAl5xZo%3D&reserved=0.
10.15.1.3 re-packages Derby as a set of JPMS modules. This introduces a new jar
file, derbyshared.jar, required by all configurations. Existing users can
continue to boot Derby with a classpath as they have always done. Applications
will run as they did on older Derby versions.
Alternatively, users can now boot Derby with a module path. Doing so provides
extra security by encapsulating (hiding) Derby's internal classes inside the
new modules.
Via the JDK's jlink tool, the new Derby modules can be assembled into
shrink-wrapped, footprint-optimized applications which deploy on platforms
lacking a JVM--platforms like smart phones and tablets.
Users who want to study Derby's module structure may consult the module
diagrams in the 10.15 public API.
Derby 10.15.1.3 runs on JVMs from Java 9 on up.
Please try out this new release.
