Correct.

Jaap and Joerg are referring to the same stable branch, so any newer 
version of 1.2.x than the one you compiled with (or newer 1.4.x than the 
one you compiled it with).  This makes sense because only important bug 
fixes are moved from the development back into the newer stable branches 
and no new features.  I just didn't think we were verifying that bug 
fixes never broke the ABI, although I can see why they never or at least 
rarely would.
