<dd class="glossdef"><p>Unstable interfaces are experimental or transitional. They are typically used to
give outside developers early access to new or rapidly changing technology, or
to provide an interim solution to a problem where a more general solution is
anticipated. No claims are made about either source or binary compatibility from
one minor release to the next.
The Unstable interface level is a warning that these interfaces are subject to
change without warning and should not be used in unbundled products.
Given such caveats, customer impact need not be a factor when considering
incompatible changes to an Unstable interface in a major or minor release.
Nonetheless, when such changes are introduced, the changes should still be
mentioned in the release notes for the affected release.
