Can I ask when was that last time that you used it? Which version? What problem(s) were you trying to solve? I'm looking for a tool that my team can use to validate version-to-version API compatibility of our modules. My use case is to record the API signature of version n-1, then during builds of version n compare the current API signature to version n-1's signature. I thought that I could use animal-sniffer for this, but even my very simple test shows that neither the check goal nor the enforcer rule complains about even simple breaking changes (like deleting a whole class!). Are there any alternative tools available for this use case? I really don't want to have to roll my own here...
