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?
