Thanks a lot for doing this. Two things: - My first name is Roland - I suggest to replace the 2nd paragraph by something like the following It is important to note that at the moment v3 can import a BBDB database from v2. Also, most concepts of the user interface have been preserved (plus many new concepts have been added to make BBDB yet more powerful). However, beyond this point v3 is not backwards compatible with v2. A database from v3 cannot be used with v2. Also, the names of many commands and user variables have been changed and v3 currently does not support Xemacs. Therefore, the rest of the page below will be kept around "in state" at least till support for Xemacs has been addressed somehow. You also mentioned "backward compatibility" that should / could be addressed. I do not know what this could mean more specifically. (I do not expect it will ever be feasible / useful to provide a "compatiblity mode" that allows a user of v2 to switch to v3 without worrying about anything.)
