+</I>&gt;<i> A minor change is supposed to only add interfaces and be backwards

+</I>&gt;<i> If there has been an ABI breakage, the major should be incremented.
+</I>
+If the ABI change occurs in a development or unstable version, it is
+normal to break it without bumping the major.
+
+Is this attica release considered stable?
