Hi I'm just wondering what the policy is with
regards to changes to
extension code in the svn in the case where the modification is
compatible only with recent versions. Shouldn't extensions be designed
to be as backward compatible as is practical rather than focussing
exclusively on supporting the current release?
Extensions are not required to be backwards compatible. It's nice if they are,
but they don't have to. Extensions are branched off along with the major
releases of MediaWiki, and versions on the branches should be compatible with
the respective version of mediawiki.
