---------------------------------------------

Can you use a more standard archive type (zip or tar.gz)?

> Backward compatibility can be tested by integrating projects that depend on 
> the previous version
> of the service with the new (development) version of the service. If it 
> builds successfully, then the
> new version is backward compatible for the functionality utilized by these 
> projects. Otherwise, a
> compatibility issue has been identified. Additionally, if integration is done 
> after every change to the
> service, it will also be possible to determine what change that caused the 
> build to fail. The concept
> is thus to utilize projects that depend on the service as test data and build 
> these projects at
> regular intervals with the new version of the service.
> The attached code proves shows how this can be implemented. The code is based 
> on continuum 1.0.3.
