- This shouldn't be any problem at all. V3.0 is basically a superset
- of V2.1. Going in the other direction is harder, because a lot
- of things have been added to V3.0, or fixed, or made to perform better.
- So, if you develop on V3.0 you may find it hard to come up with a
- working version of your code on V2.1 -- if your use of Isis is
- complicated, that is. For something really simple, you should be
- able to port in either direction without trouble.
