I can't help with a specific definition or a URL to point you at, but
in practice code which used documented apis on 1.2.x should work on
1.2.y for all y > x.  It's intended to be a drop in replacement, and
when we introduce regressions we tend to fix them with a follow up
release.

The choice between calling something 1.5 or 2.0 is a little more
vague, but basically don't expect a drop in upgrade if the major
number changes.    The most important thing is to pay attention to the
deprecation warnings you receive, the next major release will have
that code removed.

As for 1.99, it's just a way to say 'not quite 2.0', it's not intended
for production use and has no backwards or forwards compatibility
guarantees, though obviously we hope it works just fine :).
