The intention was certainly not to break backward compatibility. If something isn't working the same, it's a bug, not a backward compatibility violation (unless, of course, the original behavior was a bug and was simply being fixed). It's always a good idea to test upgrades before deploying to production, and if you find bugs, report them -- they will usually be fixed very quickly. Even better, test out the nightly builds or trunk from time to time, and report bugs before they make it into stable releases. Anthony
