Binary compatibility
======================================================================
-Patch releases of Ice are binary compatible. For example, version
-<x>.<y>.1 is compatible with <x>.<y>.0, so you can run applications
-compiled with <x>.<y>.0 with the <x>.<y>.1 runtime without having to
-recompile.
+Ice patch releases are binary compatible. For example, Ice version
+<x>.<y>.1 is compatible with <x>.<y>.0: you can run an application
+built against Ice <x>.<y>.0 with Ice <x>.<y>.1 (or later) without
+having to recompile or relink this application.
-With the binary installers, simply uninstall the previous version of
-Ice and install the new one. Already deployed applications that were
-compiled against the <x>.<y>.0 runtime will automatically use the
-<x>.<y>.1 runtime.
+Please refer to the RELEASE_NOTES.txt file included in this
+distribution for detailed upgrade instructions.
