Whenever the IDL for a service is modified, new service stubs are generated. Depending on the change, the new version may be backward binary compatible or incompatible with clients trying to connect with older versions of the stubs.

Backward Compatible Changes -- Good!

Adding new methods or structs
Adding a non-required field to a struct
Changing a method return type from void to anything else
Removing an exception from a method signature
Removing a field from a struct
Renaming a struct
Adding an argument to a method with or without a default value
Removing an argument from a method
Changing the order of arguments in a method
Changing the namespace


These changes will still allow older clients to connect to the new version of the server.

这些真的是最佳实践吗? (见下面, 不敢太苟同)
