Re: [hibernate-dev] Compatibility Considerations wiki
Thanks Steve!
that's extremely useful.
My only doubt is the relation between release families, quoting:
> Hibernate considers the {major}.{minor} combination a release
"family".
and then later below in paragraph "The rules" :
> API contracts should be considered stable across all releases in
a family.
I'm not sure if you mean that 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 are (promised to be) API
compatible, while 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 are not..
I would say from the definition above that I should not expect that as
the two are in a different family, still the following example seems
to point out that any 4.x will be drop-in compatible with 4.0.0 ?
It would also help to understand the rules better to explain when the
team decides to bump the major version.

This is a first draft. Let me know what you think.
