DB 2.7.5

I believe that I read on http:///www.sleepycat.com that a release with a
different minor version number is not entirely compatible with
previous versions.  Therefore there may be compatibility problems
caused by the update for 2.4.14 to 2.7.5.

These incompatibilities range from changes to the format of the files
on disk, via incompatibilities in the programming interface (which
might break source compatibility), to true interface changes (which
might break binary compatibility).  There is a list of all these
changes on the web-pages.

Is this something we should worry about?  Investigate?  Or solve when
actual problems come up?

Mark
