I believe it is reference to the Source Compatibility section that compatibility can not be guaranteed: "However, if an application uses an API which has become available in a particular minor version, it (obviously) will no longer build or operate against previous minor versions."

Hi guys,

I like to point to people on IRC or MLs to

    http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html

for explaining how versioning works at Apache (yes, I mean Apache in 
general..mostly)

However, someone pointed out to me today that

   http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html#examples

is confusing, in particular:

Original Version    New Version    Compatible?"
2.2.3               2.1.7          No -- Compatibility with prior minor 
versions is not guaranteed.
