Ah, I got it: In "1.0-alpha1", class "o.a.c.somecomp.alpha1.Foo". In "1.2-alpha1", class "o.a.c.somecomp.alpha1.Foo". But those 2 classes can very well be different and incompatible. However, we can consider that after the release of "1.0", all "1.0-alphaX" releases are obsolete and serve zero purpose. The beta releases are "comparable" only within the same base (unreleased) version.
