In general each release we make has the same API as previous releases but may extend it with new functionality too (i.e. it is intended to be backwards compatible). There have been one or two cases where we needed to break backwards compatibility because of a bug in the API but these cases are isolated. So in theory if you develop something agains 1.0 it should work against current trunk. Do note that 2.0 (our next major release) will break API compatibility (though that compatibility will be maintained through the 2.x release series). If you find specific instances where the api has bee changed by dropping methods, please let us know as that should be considered a bug probably.
