I have changed the page per your suggestion. As for efforts to make SageMathCell backwards compatible - what you mean is making SageMath backwards compatible, since SageMathCell "just runs it". The only way to make it "more compatible" is to allow people who embed cells to specify an explicit version and maintain servers that run these version "forever". Apart from implementing this new feature it will require more hosting power to run multiple version and extra security considerations with running old versions which are no longer supported. One may also question how good it will be to learn some code, see that it works, and then use it as a base of your own code to discover that it actually does not work anymore. So from a practical point of view, taking into account history, I don't think there will be any change in this direction. For SageMath itself there are efforts to keep it backward compatible over a year and break something only with deprecation warnings, but of course there are cases when this intention was not implemented. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-cell" group.
