> Key: TINKERPOP-1443
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1443
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build-release
> Affects Versions: 3.2.2
> Reporter: Lukas Krejci
> Assignee: stephen mallette
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> Tinkerpop 3.2.2 changed the signature of the method
> {{GraphTraversal.hasLabel}} from {{(String...)}} to {{(String, String...)}}.
> While this is certainly an improvement, it is both source and binary
> incompatible change.
> I.e. even if every usage of {{hasLabel}} had at least one parameter in the
> user code, none of those calls will work until all the user code is
> recompiled using Tinkerpop 3.2.2.
> I don't know the versioning policy of Tinkerpop but changes like the above in
> a micro/patch release are generally unexpected.
> Please consider API checkers like http://revapi.org to warn about such
> incompatible API changes...
