Hello,
I'm somewhat confused about the rules for package naming and backward
compatibility, so I would like to get advice on that.
I maintain the package Payment_DTA (current version is 1.3.2 stable) and
in a next version I want to drop PHP4-support (because I would like to
use exceptions in new methods). The existing API will not change.
Would this new version be considered as backward compatible?
And what will be the appropriate name/version number:
- - Payment_DTA 1.4 (new minor version),
- - Payment_DTA 2.0 (new major version), or
- - Payment_DTA2 0.1 (completely new package)?
