Just because you don't mention the version, that doesn't mean folks can't
deduce the version based on the information that you did provide.
Regarding compatibility, Timo has done a good job of providing backward

I would not like software installations that touched my configuration files.
Just give me a new version of the default configuration file and I'll review
and update my configuration as needed.
