compatibility between major releases and minor releases.
However, we try to preserve compatibility between minor and patch releases,

However, we try to preserve backward and forward binary compatibility and forward and
backward source code compatibility in patch releases, so:
\list
\o Preserve backward binary compatibility and backward source code
compatibility in minor releases.
\o Preserve backward and forward binary compatibility and forward and
backward source code compatibility in patch releases:
\list
\o Do not add or remove any public API (e.g. global functions,x
public/protected/private methods).
\o Do not reimplement methods (not even inlines,
nor protected or private methods).
\o Check
