3 Compatibility
===============
Upstream features from the OpenFOAM® code base are merged into
foam-extend on regular basis. The interface format of foam-extend-3.2
is largely compatible to foam-extend-3.1, to OpenFOAM-1.6-ext and
foam-extend on regular basis. The interface format of foam-extend-4.0
is largely compatible to foam-extend-3.2, to OpenFOAM-1.6-ext and
OpenFOAM-1.7.x. In some cases, the differences are caused by bug fixes
and algorithmic improvements, considered more important than
inter-operability.
