Hello everybody,

I'm planning on switching our productive report engine to the new
version 2.1. Are there any compatibility issues regarding reports
created with birt 2.0.1. Has anyone already done this? Did you face any
problems?

Regards,

Dirk

Look at page 8. It says:
"API Contract Compatibility: BIRT 2.1 is upwards contract-compatible
with BIRT 1.x and 2.0.x to the greatest extent possible. All
incompatibility exceptions will be documented. Downward contract
compatibility is not supported. There is no guarantee that compliance
with BIRT 2.1 APIs will ensure compliance with BIRT 1.x or 2.0.x APIs.
Refer to general Eclipse document on Evolving APIs for a discussion of
the kinds of API changes that maintain contract compatibility."

Special to ReportEngine:

Backward Compatible to: 1.0, 1.0.1, 2.0, 2.0.1
Test Cases: Yes
Maturity: Medium
