ASE 3.23 introduces tons of improvements over the 3.22 style, and many of them actually benefits SPARC-X-API as well. This issue summarized the milestones for full migration to the new ASE style.
Release plan:
v1.0.x: bug-fix versions that maintain the support for ASE 3.22 while have minimal compatibility with ASE 3.23 (file I/O, socket)
v1.1: Migration to ASE 3.23 style. ASE 3.22 support will be deprecated (but still accessible)
Considering the major release of ASE takes about 1 year, it would be relatively safe to drop the old ASE style in SPARC-X-API v1.2+ release.

Some minimal support for ASE 3.23 has been added in #47, here're some more until v1.1 release
