That is indeed the real question and it does not always have clear answer. AFAIK, there's no version number for a LADSPA, plugin, apart from what gets encoded into the name or label. I had an unclear situation recently with the new release of the 4-band parametric EQ. It has the same parameters and parameter ranges as the previous one, but the mapping from the combination gain/bandwidth to a particular FR has changed - there are different ways to do this, all of them logical and consistent, they just give a different 'feel'. So the new version will work perfectly in e.g. an Ardour session using the old one, but you may want to re-adjust its settings. Compatible or not ?
