  Some user accessible points in this software package should be 
  considered "alpha". This means that the developer team is not 
  investing _any_ effort to provide backward compatibility between alpha 
  releases for these parts. This software will continue to be released 
  as "alpha" until its code, schemas, and APIs are considered stable.

  Until then, there will be no warranty that newer versions will 
  maintain backward compatibility for such parts, even in the most 
  simple cases. Of course Cocoon will be compatible to latest release, 
  2.0.x release. However, once "beta" status is reached, backward 
  incompatible changes will be made only when absolutely necessary to 
  reach "final" status.

  The Cocoon development team understands the importance of reliable 
  software as well protecting user investments through the creation of a 
  solid development platform that doesn't change. On the other hand, 
  Cocoon 3 should give its developers the freedom to experiment and to 
  react quickly on feedback. Thus, reliability cannot be guaranteed 
  before the software achieves its "final" status.

  Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee backward 
  compatibility for any parts considered alpha.

  You have been warned.
