S60 Platform: Source and Binary Compatibility v1.6

file name: S60_Platform_Source_and_Binary_Compatibility_v1_6_en.pdf
description: This updated document addresses compatibility across different S60 platform releases — especially compatibility issues that application developers must take into account when moving up from previous S60 platform releases or targeting an application for multiple platforms. The document also discusses several development techniques that ensure better source and binary compatibility when applied, and reduce changes to source code if a compatibility break is unavoidable. The document has been updated to include information about S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1.
