Since I work mostly in Java, when I started learning Erlang I recognized .beam files as being at least somewhat like .class files and assumed they would be backward compatible - that is, beams compiled in R12 would run in R13 and R14 and there shouldn't be any problems unless I were calling experimental APIs or deprecated APIs that were later removed. But a discussion on the ejabberd mailing list suggested that this might not be the case. I didn't see anything offhand in the official documentation. What's the word on this?<br>
