Right.
We pay attention to keeping DB schema and APIs the same within a given
maint-X.Y release branch. If we add something new, then we support the
old configuration, e.g. see 47e4a3364. If we do add some feature
change, then it is switched off via appropriate configuration variables.
All in all you should not see feature changes within given release
branch.
In the concrete case of v1.0.2 over v1.0.1, the DB schema change was
really just to add an index in order to improve performance of some SQL
queries.
Summa summarum, if you were tracking maint-1.0 release branch for your
installation up to now, then nothing is changed by the current point
release of v1.0.2, and you can keep tracking maint-1.0 safely.
P.S. Really important feature changes will come with the forthcoming
Invenio v1.1.0 release which will open new release series (v1.1)
that would be maintained by its own maint-1.1 release branch.
