On the convention of how protobuf releases have been done...

Not ones that use protobufs compiled against a different major version of the library. These come out every year or two. AFAIK this has always been the case. (You can avoid this problem by just building the proto as part of the build process rather than shipping the generated files. I'm fairly sure that the generated API's should be backwards-compatible.) Hopefully someone from Google can address your other concerns. -ilia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
