Binary Source Behavioral

This article categorizes each breaking change as binary incompatible or source incompatible, or as a behavioral change:

• Binary incompatible - When run against the new runtime or component, existing binaries may encounter a breaking change in behavior, such as failure to load or execute, and if so, require recompilation.

• Source incompatible - When recompiled using the new SDK or component or to target the new runtime, existing source code may require source changes to compile successfully.

• Behavioral change - Existing code and binaries may behave differently at runtime. If the new behavior is undesirable, existing code would need to be updated and recompiled.
