The given example (with Rank) was copy/pasted from the release-notes.. I
think these kind of things must be added there, because they are not
detectable by recompilation.
source-code incompatibilities were not documented, but the relevant
onces are easily spotted by a recompilation...
Binary incompatibility is the default I fear... I'd recompile my
extensions against the right version of 1.8 always, just to be on the
safe side..
Perhaps we can simply add to the release-notes: recompile all your
dependencies. That's perhaps considerably simpler than trying to
document when to and when not to do that.
I btw think that we should only want to garantuee stability in the
'API'. A few weeks ago I tried to initiate a discussion about what that
actually is ('everything essential to run an RMMCI clinet'), but it was
ignored.
