Preserving Backward Compatibility (O'Reilly)

Garrett Rooney discusses backward compatibility issues on O'Reilly. "In order to better prepare you, the average open source hacker, for dealing with this problem, I'd like to share some of the experiences we've had with backward compatibility in the Subversion project. With luck, you'll be able to apply some of the lessons we've learned to your own projects."
