| |
| All user accessible points in this software package are to be considered |
| "alpha". This means that the developer team is not investing _any_ effort |
| in providing back compatibility between alpha releases. |
| |
| This software will continue to be released as "alpha" until both code, |
| schemas and APIs will be considered stable. |
| |
| Until then, there will be no warranty that newer versions will maintain back |
| compatibility even in the most simple cases. |
| |
| On the other hand, once "beta" status is reached, back incompatible changes |
| will be made only if absolutely necessary to reach "final" status. |
| |
| The Ant development team understands the importance of reliable |
| software as well as the importance of protecting user investiments by the |
| creation of a solid development platform that doesn't change. |
| |
| On the other hand, being the Ant project a pioneer in many fields, this |
| cannot be guaranteed before a final status is reached for the software. |
| |
| Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee back compatibility. |
| |
| You have been warned. |
