 <p>Official releases are usually created when the developers feel there are
 sufficient changes, improvements and bug fixes to warrant a release. Watch
 the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/mailinglistarchives.html">Mailing lists</a>
  for latest release discussions.</p>

-<p><em>Please note that below backwards compatibility contract is a draft. As
-soon as finished the line you are about to read will be deleted.</em></p>
-<p>As of version 1.0 Apache Mahout will provide the following backwards
-compatibility guarantees.</p>
-<p><a name="Downloads-Datainputformats,Modelformats,Modeloutput"></a></p>
-<h2 id="data-input-formats-model-formats-model-output">Data input formats, Model formats, Model output</h2>
-<p>All minor versions within a major release can read prior versions data
-within the same major release.  That is, 3.4 can read a 3.3 data.  However,
-3.3 cannot read a 3.4 data file.  When a user reads 3.3 data w/ 3.4, it is
-silently upgraded to 3.4.</p>
-<p>A major TODO that you can help with if you are interested is to provide
-serialization methods based on <a href="http://avro.apache.org">Apache Avro</a>
- that would make support for input, output and model format upgrade easier.</p>
-<p>Another option is to use the <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/io/SequenceFile.Metadata.html">SequenceFile.Metadata</a>
- feature to store file format versions.</p>

-<p>For APIs, we typically mark things as @mahout.experimental if we think they
-may change within minor releases.  We also mark things as deprecated that
-are going away.  Deprecated items are then removed on the next major
-release.  The upgrade path is usually to go to x.9, remove all deprecations
-and then go to x+1.0.</p>
-<p>We also communicate to users via release notes when we purposefully broke
-back compat.</p>
