I know how to upgrade a traditional readers and writers from an older version to a current version in FME. Is the same functionality applicable to the FeatureReader and FeatureWriter transformers? Or, are reader and writer definitions nested in the FeatureReader and FeatureWriter transformers dynamic and will use the current installed version?

That functionality is not available, but I think it is a great idea.

Can you post it to the Ideas section and I will vote for it.

In fact there is an Idea for it:

I assume the nested writer's version is static like the traditional writer, I suppose I will need to rebuild the FeatureWriter Transformer to utilize the current writer.
