| | Forward compatibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Forward compatibility is the ability of a system to accept input from later versions of itself. | | | Forward compatibility is harder to achieve than backward compatibility, since, in the backward case, the input format is known whereas a forward compatible system needs to cope gracefully with unknown future features. | | | An example of forward compatibility is the stipulation that a |

| | Backward compatibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Binary compatibility means that programs can work correctly with the new version of this library without requiring recompilation. | | | A program is backward compatible if it can share data with an earlier version of itself. | | | For example, WordPerfect 6.0 can read WordPerfect 5.1 files, so it is backward compatible. |

| | The Mac was one the first computers to be "forward" compatible on a semi-regular basis. | | | Backwards compatibility is when you create a new function or feature for your computer, but must also have a mode that works just like it did in the past. | | | There has got to be a better way, and there is. Sometimes, but not always, computer designers make something forward compatible. |

| | Compatibility Considerations and Version Changes |
| | To run a.NET Framework version 1.1 application on version 1.0 (Forward Compatibility), perform your test on a separate computer that only has the.NET Framework version 1.0 installed. | | | Copy the compiled binary files to a computer with only the.NET Framework version 1.1 installed. | | | A breaking change is either a binary or behavioral change to types or members in the.NET Framework that makes an application backward or forward incompatible. |

Forward and Backward Compatibility in a Cross-Release Environment shows a client/server computing environment that contains a Version 7 server. | | | Note:
Because features for Version 7 and Version 8 are virtually identical, references to Version 7 in the figure also apply to Version 8. |

| | Forwards compatibility is something you can hope for, but you'll only find out when it's too late, and that could be as soon as then next browser revision. | | | Keeping your sites usable in any browser is the purpose of forward compatibility, so this "argument" simply repeats the definition. | | | When the browser is no longer a consideration, then your site is no longer constraind by concerns such as "will Microsoft still support my marquee tags in IE7?" You can then develop individual presentation layers for your target platforms with a minimum of effort. |

| | CAST ECP_SLAVE Extended Capabilities Parallel Port Slave Core |
| | The ECP is an asynchronous, byte-wide, bidirectional channel between a peripheral and a host computer. | | | The ECP_Slave core handles the task to initiate reverse transfers by requesting a byte from the peripheral every time data is available, so compliance with the IEEE1284 standard is pre-served and a convenient interface to the parallel port is provided to the peripheral. | | | RLE in the reverse direction is supported, but an RLE en-coder is not implemented so the peripheral logic should generate the RLE run-lengths to be transmitted by the core towards the host. |

| | Note, however, that the Resource Manager is available which provides backward compatibility by emulating the channel allocation behaviour of Prosody version 1. | | | Although the Prosody 1 compatibility events usually appear more convenient, they are not as good for exposing race conditions at the start or end of an operation. | | | However in a multithreaded program, locking and updating this array is very likely to be a performance bottleneck, so for best performance it is better to avoid the need for indices at all. |
