    This has nothing to do with open source.

    I have seen function calls change and perhaps some data structures between a 1.2 to 1.3 version. Bunch of stuff was deprecated. Annoying yes.

    What kinds of changes are we talking about?

    then just buy a closed source library instead, where you won't get this problem for the sole reason of you _never_ buying an updated version of the library because money.

    @tosensei I can tell you from experience that closed source libraries have the exact hame problem.
    Also, closed source doesn‘t mean it costs money. And open source doesn‘t mean it‘s free. It’s not related at all.

    @Lensflare yeah, both are possible, but there _is_ a strong correllation.

    @rebokdev every language has something like @deprecated. That’s not the problem.
