> Tinkerpop 3.2.2 changed the signature of the method {{GraphTraversal.hasLabel}} from {{(String...)}} to {{(String, String...)}}. While this is certainly an improvement, it is both source and binary incompatible change.
> I.e. even if every usage of {{hasLabel}} had at least one parameter in the user code, none of those calls will work until all the user code is recompiled using Tinkerpop 3.2.2.
> I don't know the versioning policy of Tinkerpop but changes like the above in a micro/patch release are generally unexpected.
> Please consider API checkers like http://revapi.org to warn about such incompatible API changes...
