I've read through the release documents 
<https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.0.0> for Protocol 
Buffers v3.0.0 but I can't find any statements regrading binary 
compatibility with version 2.6.1 (or earlier). There are a couple of things 
I'd like to know:


   1. If I dump a 3.0.0 version of the 
   com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java.jar in a project the depends on java 
   classes generated by protoc v2.6.1 (or v2.5.0) will everything still work? 
   That is, is the java runtime backwards compatible?
   2. Is the binary wire format the same for purely proto2 messages? If I 
   serialize messages generated from proto2 sources using the 3.0.0 java 
   runtime will clients using protobuf v2.6.1 be able to decode the messages 
   correctly?

Thanks,
Jeff
