[Typo3] how do extensions authors catch up with core updates?

[Ries van Twisk]

Bing,

we can catch up fairly good since Kaspers (and typo3's programming 
stratagy) is to make the core
always backwards compatible.
Sometimes functions get depreciated but will live in the core for a long 
long time so existsing extentions
will not break.
I have seen extentions made at the 3.5 age that still work in 3.8beta.

My extentions made in 3.7 also work flawlessly in 3.8beta2.1.

that's my experiances so far.....
