If you're referring to the C API, I would not depend upon binary
compatibility. There are sometimes subtle changes that will cause
failures in corner cases that you won't discover unless your regression
tests are really good.
Insight: Recompile for each openssl update, even for a letter change.

Hi All,
We have a Linux box1 (*Client*) that has openssl *0.9.8r*. That box
communicates with a different kind of Linux box2 (*Server*) that has
openssl 1.0.0e.
openssl0.9.8r and openssl1.0.0e seem fairly happy together.
In the near future our 2^nd Linux box is migrating to a new Platform, as
a result, it will have openssl1.0.0.
My question is: Should I anticipate any incompatibilities between those
two versions of openssl (0.9.8r -and- 1.0.0)?
Out of curiosity, what version(s) of openssl1.0.X.Y are most
compatible (functionality-wise) with the openssl0.9.8r version ?
Thanks a bunch.
