I don't interpret our versioning rules that way ... http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html says explicitly, "Compatibility with prior minor versions is not guaranteed" for both source and binary compatibility. However, you certainly cannot retroactively add a function to 1.4.x that was not already present in 1.5.0. So I expect you meant "micro version" above, rather than "minor version". -- Brane
