[fpc-devel] supported compiler versions for building stable releases.

[peter green]

I have long understood that each stable release of freepascal is made to 
be compilable with the previous release but at a quick glance at the 
website I couldn't seem to spot any official statement of this. Is it 
indeed "supported" to compile a stable release with the previous stable 
release and if so is there a statement of this anywhere.

I ask because i've been helping someone in debian who is trying to 
convince another compiler (for a totally different language) to adopt a 
similar policy.
