RE: [Help-glpk] How important is backward compatibility?

This might just be a workaround but as long as you have all versions of your 
code available then a user can just download the code that matches the version 
of GLPK they are using.

Subject: [Help-glpk] How important is backward compatibility?

Hi,

When developing an open source software such as PyMathProg that depends on GLPK 
api, I wonder how important is backward compatibility with older versions of 
GLPK? Any feed back that helps me make this decision is appreciated. You know, 
to have backward compatibility really complicates up the code.

Thanks,

Yingjie
