OAI-PMH version 2.0 is not backward compatible. Results from the version 1.x experimentation period indicated that a number of fundamental changes were necessary, and maintaining backward compatibility would have resulted in a compromised production release. We are committed to strongly consider backward compatibility issues in future releases.
