| Some user accessible points in this software package should be considered |
| "alpha". This means that the developer team is not investing _any_ effort |
| to provide backward compatibility between alpha releases for these parts. |
| This software will continue to be released as "alpha" until its code, |
| schemas, and APIs are considered stable. |
| |
| Until then, there will be no warranty that newer versions will maintain backward |
| compatibility for such parts, even in the most simple cases. Of course |
| Cocoon will be compatible to latest release, 2.0.x release. However, once |
| "beta" status is reached, backward incompatible changes will be made only |
| when absolutely necessary to reach "final" status. |
| |
| The Cocoon development team understands the importance of reliable |
| software as well protecting user investments through the creation of |
| a solid development platform that doesn't change. On the other hand, |
| the Cocoon project is a pioneer in many fields. Most of the technologies |
| it uses are at a "working draft" phase only. Thus, reliability cannot be |
| guaranteed before the software achieves its "final" status. |
| |
| Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee backward compatibility |
| for any parts considered alpha. |
| |
| You have been warned. |
