Is Kotlin ABI stable?

Language Design
1

Hello!

I have found in the documentation, some statements, like:

Keep your library up-to-date. If you’re a library author, updating to the new Kotlin version is extremely important. Using older versions could block your users from updating Kotlin in their projects.

and

Change the versions of dependencies to EAP ones. The EAP version of Kotlin may not work with the libraries of the previously released version.

Does it mean that some Kotlin versions are not compatible or not ABI stable?

Thanks

Could anybody help me with it? Thanks

Have you checked the docs?
Here’s the first page but make sure you see the other items for compatibility and stability: Kotlin Evolution | Kotlin Documentation

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have checked it and also checked Kotlin/Native compatibility page.
But both of them don’t answer the statements from the documentation.
