Hi all,
We have added one binary backward incompatible change since 
commons-imaging-1.0-alpha1. Which means commons-imaging-alpha2 will be both 
behavior and binary incompatible.
There was some discussion around alpha/beta releases rencetly-ish [1]
I am writing to confirm that we can add more BC incompatible changes. I believe 
there were some comments about having a per-component policy for what alpha & 
beta means, but we don't have a general consensus or policy.
So I prefer to check now, rather than have a release blocked, or have to revert 
changes.
The breaking change would be in a pull request contributed by a user: 
https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging/pull/49
The contributor wrote an excellent pull request, and held back on breaking 
compatibility. But since we are already breaking BC, we could very well 
complete the PR and this way we would be closer to being compliant with the 
standard.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Bruno
