RE: [cdt-dev] RE: API tooling for CDT 8.0 and CDT 7.0.1

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I understand correctly the API tooling, if we want to avoid all API changes
for 7.0.1, then I think we really should be on a 7.0 baseline.
If we remain on 6.0, someone can remove a method that was added in 7.0 and that will be
ignored by the API tooling.
But if we move to a 7.0 baseline, removing such a method will give an error that will
require incrementing the plugin to 8.0.

About the maintenance release, the policy for a maintenance release is no API changes
at all?  So we can't add new classes or methods?

Thanks

Marc
