Stefano Bagnara commented on MAILET-24:
---------------------------------------

Backward compatibility is usually "backward compatibility". This means that mailets developed against api 2.3 will work also with api 2.4, not viceversa.

>             Project: Mailet

>          Components: Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 2.4

> The documentation claims:  "2.4 differs from the last version shipped (with Server 2.3) only by minor bug fixes and is compatible with it."
> It took me several hours to discover that the statement is incorrect.  Mailet 2.4's MailAddress class includes the methods getDomain and getLocalPart.  These methods do not exist in the Mailet 2.3 API that ships with the James 2.3.1 server.
