Let me clarify --- changes to our WAL binary format and source code
changes are not really incompatibilities from a user perspective as we
never promise to do our best to minimize such changes --- m eaning the
fact the WAL format changed is something that would be only in the
source code section and not in the "incompatibilities section" ---
incompatibilities are related to change in user experience or
documented-API changes.
