It is guaranteed that a release can be built with the last stable release, =

which, in the case of 1.9.x was 1.0.10. I remember 1.0.6 worked as well.

With 1.9.x, allowing old 1.9.x to compile new 1.9.x would have required a =

lot of ifdefs at that time (we were changing calling conventions). There
were already a lot of ifdefs for 1.0 compatibility and we weren't happy =

to add another set. It was decided that stick to the "last stable =

release" policy and therefore support 1.0 as bootstrap only.

In general, if it is no problem, we avoid breakage. At this time 2.0.0 can =

still compile all releases and branches.
