> Currently the compatibility checker ({{japicmp-maven-plugin}}) is configured to allow source incompatible changes for minor releases. It does not seem to be a great burden not allow such changes.
> Meanwhile a potential [bug|https://github.com/siom79/japicmp/issues/281] is discovered in the tool. Let's wait for this issue to be clarified because if it is not a bug then changes in parquet-mr will be required.
