Stefano Bagnara commented on MAILET-24:
---------------------------------------
Backward compatibility is usually "backward compatibility". This means that
mailets developed against api 2.3 will work also with api 2.4, not viceversa.
> Mailet 2.4 claim about backward-compatibility is wrong

> Key: MAILET-24
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILET-24
> Project: Mailet
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Willis Blackburn
>
> The documentation claims: "2.4 differs from the last version shipped (with
> Server 2.3) only by minor bug fixes and is compatible with it."
> It took me several hours to discover that the statement is incorrect. Mailet
> 2.4's MailAddress class includes the methods getDomain and getLocalPart.
> These methods do not exist in the Mailet 2.3 API that ships with the James
> 2.3.1 server.
