The plan is, it *will* break in 9.10, but not in 9.9 (unless you turn the new stats on with the configure option). I'd love it if you'd try it, actually, find out how hard it is to modify your tools to use the new schema, and send feedback. It may not be too painful; the new schema is simpler and flatter and should be easier to parse. And the XSL with Google Charts support is a major improvement over what went before. > >Please, if you have a new schema, put it on another URI so that software > >that wants the old schema gets it, and software that wants the new > >explicitly requests it.

We increase the second digit when making changes that are backward compatible (i.e. adding new fields, not changing or removing existing ones), and the first digit when making changes that break compatibility. I'd been assuming the version field would be enough, but we can change the URI if needed. > But am I reading right?
