I really hope we can keep source compatibility and use deprecation, etc. 
if there is a need for changes to the API. Otherwise it will likely mean 
increasing the version number of the public version and 
maintaining/supporting two separate ones for us, which of course will 
eat into the time we have for other stuff.

Binary compatibility should not really be an issue on Android or iOS, 
since the libraries are always bundled in the former case and statically 
linked in the latter. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :)
