+Compatibility
+
+ For most of the NAR plugin we try to keep things backwards compatible. Versions 1.x were
+made for Maven 1 and therefore we are not compatible with those.
+
+ In the NAR Plugin 2.x series we had to introduce some backward incompatibilites and other changes.
+Below a (rather incomplete) list.
+
+* Version 2.1.x
+
+ * The internal layout of the nar files (.nar extension) is stable. No changes were made.
+
+ * The layout of the files under target and under the unpacked directory has changed. For more
+information see NarLayout21 (version 2.1.x and up) and NarLayout20 (version 2.0.x).
+
+ * The dependency in 2.0 used to be without a <type> specified. You now need to specify <type>nar</type>
+as this is more in line with the standard of maven. It also allows the NAR plugin to find dependencies
+locally in a multi-module build.
+
+ * The main artifact is a jar file, where the NAR plugin attaches a -noarch nar file and some
+platform specific nar files. When installed and or deployed the main jar file is renamed to a nar file,
+hence the dependecy type change from jar to nar.
