I try to fix incompatibilities when I am aware of, but I can't if they 
are not reported.

Most often, incompatibilities do not come from Gambas directly, but 
because of changes in the underlying libraries or OS.

QT and GTK+ are especially hard to follow with that! Then come MySQL, 
GStreamer, PostgreSQL. LLVM is the worse at the moment, as the JIT 
compiler has been deprecated and replaced by a new incompatible one in 
LLVM 3.6.

Pure Gambas incompatibilities are usually very easy to deal with. I have 
some Gambas 1 code run unchanged in the Gambas 3 IDE.

I think you have no idea of the amount of incompatibilites I have hidden 
for you. Alas I can't hide them all!

That's life...
